Conserve energy and stay informed this summer

There are steps we can all take to be prepared ahead of a hot, dry summer.

The drought, wildfires, and prolonged heat waves may reduce the availability of power supply this summer throughout the state and region. Although Roseville Electric Utility typically has a sufficient portfolio of resources to meet our customers’ electric needs at peak demand, we are planning ahead to make sure everyone is as prepared as possible.

We have a number of resources available to ensure you are receiving the most up-to-date information and conservation tips.
