Doing it in Missouri as well. They've never done it here before that I can remember.
Where at in MO? We have Evergy in KC and haven’t heard anything (yet)
Ugh...that's what I get for believing my work. They said the rolling black outs hit one of their facilities, and the a/c compressor fried. 🙄
Looks like it's just the voluntary thermostat thing for now. https://newsroom.evergy.com/2022-06-14-Heat-wave-raises-questions-about-power-reliability
I do remember them doing it during the winter when we had that polar vortex. https://newsroom.evergy.com/2021-02-18-Evergy-Resumes-Normal-Operations-After-Severe-Weather-Event
Yes!! That was right after I had my son on the 4th lol that was not fun. SO FAR no black outs but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re implemented after this long heat wave.
That had to be hard with a newborn. We got lucky and didn't get hit with them. My son was only 1, and I was working from home.
I have a feeling they will. They'll claim not enough people are in the voluntary thermostat program probably.
