Request for customers to conserve energy has been lifted

Knoxville, TN – KUB is returning to normal operations following a period of increased electricity demand caused by extremely high temperatures. The regional power grid operated by Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is also returning to normal operations following the increase in demand.

The public appeal to conserve energy and reduce demand on the overall system was a precautionary effort to maintain the regional electricity supply. Requests to lower energy use have been lifted, but consumers should continue to conserve energy when possible.

“We appreciate the efforts of our customers who helped alleviate the situation through voluntary conservation measures,” said Gabriel J. Bolas II, KUB President and CEO.
