Platte River said customers are asked to reduce demand by turning down their thermostats and postponing the use of dishwashers, washing machines and electric dryers or other electrical devices until further notice.
Customers who need electricity to maintain their health or medical equipment may continue normal use, Platte River said.
Meanwhile, Granby-based Mountain Parks Electric, Inc. (MPE) said on its website it has learned that regional wind turbines have iced up and are unable to generate electricity.
MPE said that has created the potential for an interruption of electric service for the utility provider and its customers, depending on the duration and consumers' usage patterns.
