Electric companies advise Mid-Missouri customers to save energy amid blackouts elsewhere
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
Utility providers in Mid-Missouri are advising users to cut back on their energy use at least through the end of the week to avoid rolling blackouts.
Meredith Hoenes with Boone Electric Cooperative said the utility informed its members through a Facebook post Monday of energy-saving suggestions.
Hoenes said the rolling blackouts that have happened throughout the country and in Kansas City and southwest Missouri are caused by all-time high peak demand for energy in those areas. Energy providers try to prepare for spikes in demand, but arctic air blanketing the country s midsection has pushed the need even higher.
