Demand Response Event

Hot summer days can stress the electrical grid causing brownouts or even blackouts. Millersville helps the grid operator respond to high-stress periods by reducing our electricity use.

During these Demand Response Events:

• Building temperatures may increase because less energy is available to cool buildings.
• Conserving energy in other ways leaves more energy available to cool buildings.

You can help during Demand Response Events by:

• Shutting off lights where safe and not in use.
• Turning off computers, monitors, desktop printers and appliances when not in use.
• Using fans thoughtfully.
• Unplugging chargers and other devices when not in use.
• Closing doors and windows in air-conditioned space.
