In December 2022, Dairyland Power Cooperative modified control times for load management. Winter full load control events will be split into morning and evening events December through February. A review of electricity peaks in the MISO system revealed that 60 percent of peaks occurred in the morning.
To successfully reduce our electricity needs during the time of highest demands, enrolled dual fuel loads will be managed in the mornings, beginning at 6:55 a.m., with restoral starting at 10:05 a.m. Enrolled dairy water heaters, grain dryers, and manual stand-by generators will remain on the traditional winter schedule of 4:55 p.m., with restoral beginning at 8:05 p.m.
Communications regarding Peak Alert will be posted on Facebook, WKEB Radio and our website when possible. You can also find out load management status by clicking this link:
