UPDATE: For Tuesday, June 24, 2025: Due to the excessive temperatures today, we are requesting customers to voluntarily lower electricity usage during the peak period from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
City of Columbiana Requests Residents to Voluntarily Reduce Energy Consumption on Monday, June 23, 2025, thru Thursday, June 26, 2025 for “Community Energy Savings Days”.
As temperatures are expected to reach well into the 90’s in the eastern United States, in the upcoming days, City of Columbiana electric customers are being asked to please conserve power to benefit community electric rates. “Community Energy Savings Days” is a response program for when demand for electricity is expected to be high.
Columbiana customers are requested to voluntarily lower electricity usage during the peak period from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Monday, June 23, 2025, thru Thursday, June 26, 2025.
Mr. Lance Willard, City Manager for the City of Columbiana, said, “As a municipal electric system, owned by its citizens and customers, it is contingent upon those same citizens and customers to keep the electric rates for themselves and all other customers of City of Columbiana as low as possible. Our citizens and customers have the opportunity to make a difference in their system and their rates by conserving energy during these periods.”
Customers can take simple conservation steps such as: shutting off lights when not needed; unplugging small appliances and electric chargers (especially those with small lights); raising the air conditioner thermostat a degree or two; closing curtains, drapes and blinds; doing laundry and other household chores requiring electricity during hours other than 3:00 PM through 6:00 PM; and turning off televisions, computers, and other electronic devices when not being used.
City Manager Willard added, “There’s plenty of power available and our grid is in good shape, but if we can conserve during these peak hours, the City can save on transmission and capacity costs next year. Lowering the peak demand will help control electricity rates for our customers.“

ABOUT THIS GUIDE
This guide estimates the annual kilowatt-hour (kWh) usage and energy costs of common household products. Hours in use are based on a typical four-person household. Your hours of use may vary. Annual kWh may vary depending upon model, age, and use. Annual cost is based on an average of 12 cents per kWh. Appliances with annual operating costs of $100 or more are bolded. To estimate the annual cost of operating an appliance not listed, multiply the annual kWh by your utility’s kWh rate or by the average rate of 12 cents.
