Since Texas’s electricity grid operates largely independently from the rest of the country’s interconnected grid systems, it makes us more susceptible to brownout conditions during stress events.

Brownouts pose a real damage risk to your electronics and appliances, so what should we do to protect our belongings during these events?

We've thrown around this term "brownout" before, but what does it actually mean? 🤔

A brownout is a short-term drop in voltage on the electrical grid, intentional or otherwise, that reduces power supply to homes and businesses in a specific area without cutting off power entirely.

The name actually comes from what happens to incandescent bulbs during a voltage reduction: they glow brownish and dim rather than their usual white. That brownish cast is your first sign that voltage has dropped.

Learn more about brownouts and how to best protect your home during one at the link below.

Unlike a complete blackout, a brownout is a partial reduction in voltage across the electrical grid, and while most people know to grab a flashlight when the power goes out completely, far fewer know what to do when the power just sags.

That's why we created a guide that covers everything you need to know about brownouts, so you can be prepared to protect your home the next time you notice the lights dim. Read more here: https://buff.ly/RwHYTJg

On average, states spend 48% of their weeks in drought, with drought covering at least 5% of the state. If this drying trend continues, what should we do to manage the shifting climate?

For households in high-risk states, particularly in Texas and across the Southwest, keeping a close eye on energy and water costs is a practical first step. Read more at the link below.

We took a look at past rainfall loss and future climate projections across the U.S., and the data reveals a troubling pattern.

The states already drying out are largely the same ones most likely to keep drying, with eight Western states meeting a “double exposure” criterion, meaning they have lost rainfall over the last 30 years and at least 55% of climate models project continued drying ahead.

When the paycheck depends on staying online, how do remote workers cope with a blackout?

We conducted a study on remote and hybrid workers who have faced a power outage during work to find out how much blackouts really impact those working from home. Link below!

Did you know that 80% of Americans would go tech-free each weekend if it saved them money on electricity monthly?

But here's the catch: they would only think it's worth it if they saved roughly equal to the average electricity bill, or around $150.

Read more on our blog, where we surveyed 1,000 Americans on their technology use to see if rising costs might convince them to power down. Link below!

Video description: A short video from Payless Power with the heading "What would it take for Americans to unplug?" The video features a graph of the monthly savings each generation would need to reduce their technology use: Gen Z ($152), Millennials ($163), Gen X ($153), Baby Boomers ($118), Overall ($155).

For the remote worker, a blackout is more than just a minor annoyance. It's a stalled workday, and sometimes even a stalled paycheck.

To gauge how much power outages are costing remote workers, we surveyed 1,008 American fully remote and hybrid workers who have experienced outages in the past year. Read more here: https://buff.ly/7h5CAby

To enter this week's contest, let us know one way power outages are affecting American remote workers. Leave a comment below for a chance to win. And remember, you must be a current Payless Power customer with your name on the account to participate.
