Peak demand occurs between 4pm and 8pm, when people get home for the day and switch on appliances simultaneously. Millions of dollars are spent to cater for these times, and with the peak demand forecast to grow each year, the challenge is getting bigger. Take it easy on electricity use during peak times.2011-05-10T16:59:47+10:00http://www.energex.com.au/media-centre/community-messages/video-player?v\=32667Although domestic electricity use peaks each day between 4pm and 8pm, network peak demand only occurs for a few hours on a few days each year. In fact, 13% of ENERGEX's network capacity is only used for a few hours on a few days each year. ENERGEX is working with the community to develop more sustainable solutions while maintaining a safe and reliable electricity supply.2011-05-10T16:58:36+10:00http://www.energex.com.au/media-centre/community-messages/video-player?v\=32681Tap into Cheaper Power - Switch your Hot Water System to Off-Peak and Save.2011-05-10T16:57:29+10:00http://www.energex.com.au/media-centre/community-messages/video-player?v\=32922Use the BBQ instead of the cook top.
