Maritime Electric has been asking Islanders to conserve electricity amid this cold snap that is putting more demand on the power supply.
Maritime Electric C-E-O Jason Roberts says he hopes Islanders can lessen their power use during peak times between 6 a-m and 10 a-m, and from 4 p-m to 8 p-m.
Roberts says people can help by using their dishwashers, ovens, washers and dryers at different times of the day, and by holding off on plugging in their electric vehicles.
Environment Canada is calling for a high of -11 C Wednesday in Charlottetown, followed by an overnight low of -16 C.
