You may have received Flex event notifications via email, 文本, 或者电话要求你采取简单的步骤,在特定的日子,特定的时间减少能源消耗. 为什么?
During critical periods of high demand, PSE might deploy short-term generators, 哪些设施比标准设施更昂贵,碳密度更高. Taking small energy-saving actions during Flex事件, like turning off large appliances, 当我们从效率较低的资源转向更清洁的资源时,我们能否共同对平衡需求产生重大影响.
通过共同努力,我们可以减少需求高峰,确保为我们的社区提供可靠的能源.
