With the warm weather comes your chance to participate in Westfield Gas + Electric’s free and voluntary program to help control energy costs. What is a Power Rush Hour? During the summer in New England we have hot days when energy consumption is high, particularly between the hours of 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. “Road hogs” like air conditioning, dishwashers, and other appliances can significantly affect overall energy demand during these times. Because distribution charges are set based on usage during these “peak” times we want to work together to help hold these costs down for everyone.
