| On Friday, December 23 at approximately 6:30 p.m., We Energies began notifying customers of a request to reduce their thermostats to 60-62 in order to conserve natural gas due to an equipment failure by one of their suppliers. We Energies made this announcement at approximately 7 a.m. on Saturday, December 24: “This morning the amount of natural gas being delivered by interstate pipelines into Wisconsin is back to levels that should meet all customers’ needs. Therefore, We Energies is no longer urging customers to reduce their natural gas use. We Energies made a conservation request of customers after the Guardian pipeline, which provides natural gas to our distribution network, experienced a significant equipment failure — reducing the amount of fuel they committed to send by 30%. As a result of our customers’ support, no customer lost the ability to heat their home. We truly appreciate your understanding throughout this event.” |
We Energies: Thanks for cooperation; okay to raise thermostats
