MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The frigid temperatures impacting the Mid-South have not caused issues for Memphis Light, Gas, and Water and Tennessee Valley Authority customers so far, according to the utility companies. MLGW said on Tuesday morning that customers should consider voluntarily conserving power due to the high energy demand as a result of the cold temperatures. The demand for energy is expected to peak on Wednesday morning and will exceed TVA's all-time peak energy demand of more than 34,000 megawatts in January of last year, said MLGW. "The TVA system is well positioned to meet peak demand and the system is continually monitored for any changes," said MLGW in a press release. The low temperature on Tuesday morning was around 13 degrees. As of 10 a.m. Tuesday, MLGW's outage map showed 146 customers without power, well below the number in some previous cold weather events. Commercial and industrial customers who participate in the TVA and MLGW Demand Response programs will be called upon to help reduce overall demand. They are being asked to make voluntary conservation efforts during peak times between 5 and 9 a.m. on Wednesday morning. Those voluntary conservation efforts could be turning your home's thermostat down to 68 degrees or less, unplugging electric vehicles, unplugging spake heaters, and postponing the use of large appliances like clothing dryers and dishwashers.
