The Tennessee Valley Authority will initiate voluntary curtailment throughout the week due to high temperatures.
The curtailment, which starts Monday, June 13, from 2 to 5 p.m., is set through Friday because of the expected high electric demand on its system.
With the voluntary curtailment, the TVA is asking customers to reduce electric consumption by turning off unneeded lights and by not using major appliances, such as ovens, washing machines, washers and dryers, etc.
TVA is forecasting temperatures at or exceeding 95 degrees Valley-wide through Friday.
TVA is expecting voluntary curtailment to be in effect daily through Friday.
