Rochester Gas and Electric and NYSEG say they are ready to deliver power to customers
despite a very warm spring and last week's preview of what may be a sizzling
summer. The utility companies say they work hard before the high-demand summer
months to ensure their systems are in good working order and ready to meet
summer power needs. The power companies say they work to keep trees away from
power lines, and they also do helicopter patrols of key facilities. NYSEG and RG & E say they always
encourage customers to use energy wisely. That includes closing windows and
doors during the hottest parts of the day to keep heat out. They say you should
use fans instead of air conditioners. Also NYSEG and RG & E say you should turn off unused lights,
TV's, computers, and other electronic equipment.
