Energy control notices

Our best information about load control activity emailed to you

We offer two types of control notifications:

  • Anticipated control email notices that tell when we expect any type of control activity but have not yet started. Anticipated notices are generally sent out a day ahead with the best estimate of start and end times.
  • Actual control email notices that are sent whenever control begins or ends. Actual control notices are sent by zip code and by load type so that you can select to receive only the notices that will help you.

To start receiving email notices register on our web site and sign up for the energy control email notices you want to get. If you are already a registered user on our website, update your profile at any time to add or modify the energy-control information you receive.

To avoid receiving too many emails, subscribe only to those that apply to your location and load type. Use our help page to select the load type that applies to your account.

Not interested in email? Energy control activity is also posted on this web site:

  • Current actual energy control displays control by load type and by customer service center area. Check it whenever you need to know if energy control is underway right now.
  • Today's energy control activity lists each control command sent during the day and provides a record of control signal start and stop times.
