Dawson PPD thanks irrigation customers who worked around the load management system tests on May 14 and 15. There are no plans for further testing this May. Regular load control will follow the normal schedule beginning June 1 as the first potential day.
The load management program is key to keeping irrigation rates as low as possible. Multiple hardware and software systems work together to control and release load.
On the first day of testing, the text message notification to customers was slightly delayed. We apologize for this inconvenience. The load control system successfully sent the appropriate signals to the control boxes, resulting in a reduction in load each day.
The regular irrigation load management season begins on June 1, 2024. The program offers lower electric rates are offered to customers who select higher levels of load control.
