"Springfield's CU and Nixa Utilities Unite to Encourage Energy Conservation"
Springfield City Utilities and Nixa Utilities are urging customers to conserve electricity as high temperatures lead to record-breaking electricity usage. Suggestions include using a smart thermostat, cleaning air filters, closing drapes and shades, using ceiling fans counterclockwise, and cooking with small appliances. Conserving energy not only saves money but also helps prevent power outages and reduces the need for expensive power purchases. Both utilities emphasize the importance of collective efforts in managing peak demand and ensuring a stable power supply.
