7/16/26 Bayfield Electric is working closely with Dairyland Power Cooperative, our wholesale power supplier, to maintain electric service critical to all of its members. Please safely conserve non-essential electricity today from 1PM to 11PM to help maintain grid stability as the widespread heat and humidity are placing a serious demand on the electrical grid throughout the Midwest. Some energy-saving tips include:
-
Turn off or unplug all non-essential lights, televisions, electronics and other appliances
-
Avoid using large appliances for cooking
-
Reduce the setting on your water heater, and raise your home thermostat four degrees
-
Shift high electricity use activities, such as laundry, vacuuming and running the dishwasher, until demand has decreased
-
Delay electric vehicle charging
