With Toy Story 5 on the way, here’s a friendly reminder—safe playtime with toy safety is the best kind of adventure.

🤠 A good toy always plays it smart — use the correct batteries (no mix-and-match missions).
🚀 When playtime’s over, power down and unplug.
🌊 Keep toys and cords far from water — some risks aren’t worth it.
🧩 If it’s cracked, frayed or broken, it’s time to let it go.

Because when it comes to safety … you’ve got a friend in us. 💛

As temperatures rise, so does the demand for electricity. During summer months, energy use typically peaks in the late afternoon and early evening when air conditioners are working hardest. A friendly reminder that our peak summer hours are 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

By shifting energy-intensive activities like laundry and cooking to times when demand is lower, you can help reduce strain on the grid — and potentially lower your bill. Together, we can keep power reliable for our entire community. via NRECA
