Description
PJM, the regional electric grid operator, has issued a Maximum Generation Alert (Warning Only) due to expected high electricity demand caused by hot weather. This alert is a precautionary measure and does not indicate a power emergency.
When:
-Monday, July 28, 2025 from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM
-Tuesday, July 29, 2025 from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM
What This Means:
This type of alert helps ensure that all available power resources are ready and on standby. It is not a power outage notice but a signal that demand will be high during these peak hours.
How You Can Help:
While no action is required, residents and businesses can voluntarily help reduce strain on the electric grid by:
-Turning off non-essential lights and appliances
-Raising thermostats a few degrees, if safely possible
-Avoiding use of large appliances (e.g., washer/dryer, dishwasher) during peak hours
Tarentum Borough’s electric team continues to monitor conditions and remains in close contact with PJM.
