Colder temps mean more energy use
During the winter, the cold weather means our heating systems are running, sometimes constantly, to give us relief from the frigid temperatures. If you are closely tracking your energy use through our online member services portal, you will notice that when the temperatures drop, your energy use rises. We also tend to stay at home more when the weather is cold so we're also using our lights, heat, televisions, and other electronics. All of this adds up to an increase in energy use.
