Energy Saving Tips

Centerpoint Energy is asking its customers to lower their thermostats if possible to 65 degrees during the day while at home — and down to 60 degrees when away from home or asleep.  The utility’s Ross Corson emphasizes there’s no shortage of natural gas — but extreme cold in large sections of Minnesota has increased demand:

“And we just want our customers to be aware of that and, if they want to, take some simple steps to conserve energy, use a little bit less natural gas, and that will help limit the cost impact on their monthly bills.”

Xcel Energy is also encouraging customers to turn down their thermostats if possible.
