The campaign united Utah citizens, and utilities, businesses government in a sustained public information campaign to promote an ethic of conservation and efficient energy use. "Reducing the peak demand is an economic imperative if we want to maintain affordable electricity rates for our citizens and businesses in the future." said Governor Leavitt. "Energy conservation is a key component of 1000- - Day Economic our Plan."

"This is a community effort and I am calling on and consumers utilities, and businesses to find reduce the to ways amount of electricity needed to cool our homes and businesses this summer," said Leavitt. "I'm asking citizens to take voluntary steps to keep our energy prices low." PowerForward partners identified several ways consumers can help "shave the peak" demand for power. A significant tool is the load management device, provided "Cool by Utah Power's Keeper" program. Utah Power provides a cash incentive for people to voluntarily allow the. company to install load management devices on their central air conditioning unit outside their home.

But it is still in our long term economic and financial interest to be vigilant and prepared to conserve electricity when unexpected problems arise in our elec" tricity system. Utahns Last summer, conserved an average of 90 megawatts on each of the 1 1 declared "yellow" days. Ninety megawatts is enough power to supply nearly 45,0-0- 0 houses-abo- ut 12 percent of all households in the state for a day. The PowerForward energy conservation campaign was established by Governor Leavitt in response to the 20002001 western electricity crises and has become an clement of the Governor's "1000-Da- y Economic Plan."

"This is an extremely important strategy to help us manage the peak," Bill Vice President of Utah Power, said. "For those who volunteer to participate, we have designed this program to minimize the inconvenience and ensure that homes will not become uncomfortably warm during the time your air conditioning has been cycled off." Leavitt also identified programmable tnermostats as another strategy homeowners can use to reduce electricity needed to cool homes during peak hours. Each degree setting above 72 degrees reduces electricity use of your central air conditioning system by 3 percent. Energy efficient cooling systems are one of the best ways to cut back electricity demand. Evaporative cooling is the most way to cool homes, but even if central air is used, consumers are encouraged to purchase units with "Energy Star" labels and the highest seasonal energy efficiency rating. The Governor reactivated the PowerForward alert network for the summer of 2003. This system notifies consumers through green, yellow and red alerts of days and times when wholesale electricity prices are high. "Right now, Utah's power system is in good condition," Leavitt observed. "Our utilities have planned ahead for this summer's electricity supplies and our rates remain Humanitarian service accomplished here Thank you citizens of Eureka for all your donations of materials and money.
