City of Columbiana Requests Electric Customers to Voluntarily Reduce Energy Consumption this Tuesday, September 5, 2023 and Wednesday, September 6, 2023.
As temperatures are expected to reach well into the 90’s in the eastern United States, in the next few days, Columbiana electric customers are being asked to conserve power. “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 Tuesday, September 5, 2023 and Wednesday, September 6, 2023.
Mr. Lance Willard, City Manager for Columbiana, said, “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. We started the Energy Savings Days Program in 2019 and our customers have done a great job doing their part.”
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.
Mr. Lance Willard has further stated, “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. As forecasts dictate throughout the summer, we will most likely be asking our citizens and customers to participate again, as we have had as many as 10 opportunities in past summers to participate

Reward yourself!
Did you know that using a smart thermostat can help you not only reduce energy use but also earn a reward? Once you have an eligible, Wi-Fi-connected thermostat installed, you can earn $55 by enrolling your thermostat in the City of Columbiana Electric Department’s Community Energy Saving Program.
The City of Columbiana is participating in Community Energy Savings: Smart Thermostat Program, a voluntary program designed to help reduce the cost of electricity. The cost of some electric bill components, like transmission, are based in part on the periods of highest energy consumption in the prior year. Reducing the demand for electricity during those peak periods translates into lower costs for everyone in the community in the following year. By enrolling your smart thermostat in this program, you agree to let the City of Columbiana Electric Department make brief, small adjustments to your thermostat during these times of high electric demand.
Here’s how the program works:
