Electricity is a complex service to provide. And in today’s world it is a necessary service. We all want service that is reliable and affordable. So what does it take to get there?

Our electric utility is providing an excellent opportunity to learn about how your electric service works, what it takes to keep it going, and the various factors that affect reliability and affordability. You can attend their informational event titled “The Grid: From Generation to Your Meter” on June 25 at the ARC (1701 West Ash Street). There will be two sessions, each with the same information. One will run from 1:30 to 3:30 pm. The other will run from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. Refreshments will even be provided.

As citizens we are often called to weigh in on questions relating to how our electricity gets generated or delivered. The journey to building a needed transmission line as chronicled in this blog is a case in point. Informed citizens make wiser choices! So plan to attend a session and bring a neighbor.
