The use of electricity by Pennsylvania Electric Company customers at home and on the job is at its highest in the period from eight in the morning to eight in the evening.

Furthermore, that daytime use by customers has been growing year by year. That's quite natural, of course. But continued growth in the daytime use of electricity means Penelec should add more power plants just to keep up with those peak periods. If the use of electricity were more evenly distributed throughout the day and into the evening hours, Penelec would be able to delay the building of costly new power plants because existing plants DAILY USE OF ELECTRICITY 4AM BAM 12N 4PM 8PM 12MN would be used more efficiently. We could then do something about minimizing the size of future increases in the cost of electric service.

For some time now Penelec has been working closely with industries, commercial establishments, schools, home builders and home owners to help them conserve on electricity use. But if we are going to minimize the growth of those daytime "peaks" (and the rising cost of electricity), all consumers will have to become more aware of when they are using their electricity, as well as how much they are using.

Have your water heater temperature set back to (that's plenty hot enough) and, wherever possible, hold off that bath or shower, or any use of hot water, until after 8 p.m, Any use of electricity, big or small, that you can put off until after 8 p.m. is going to be an important factor in helping minimize future increases in the cost of electricity, PAYS TO WAIT UNTIL EIGHT!
