Attention parents! Smart bulbs with app controls allow you to monitor your home during summer break to ensure no lights are left on when your kids leave a room. #SmartSummerSavings

We’re loving this summer safety reminder from our friends at @KootenaiEC! ☀️💧 If you're cooling off in the pool, remember water and electricity never mix. Stay safe, have fun, and keep summer shocking only in a good way. 😎

Hydroelectric dams are vital to local communities along the Columbia and Snake Rivers and their tributaries. They provide benefits beyond electricity production, from flood protection to supporting sustainable agriculture. Learn more: via @NWRiverPartners

Electric fences are NOT meant for exploration! If you see a “Danger: High Voltage” sign, it’s there for a reason! Stay back and stay safe! 🦖

ICUA is busting energy efficiency myths! We’re sure you’re a great dishwasher, but your dishwasher is actually more efficient! Washing a full load of dishes uses less energy and water than washing by hand. #EnergyEfficiency #MythBusted

They flicker every time things get serious. If your lights dim or flicker when you plug in an appliance, that’s emotional and electrical instability. You deserve consistency—and so does your wiring. 🚩 .👷‍♂️ Call a licensed electrician and report concerns to ICUA.

Many energy efficiency tips are worth passing down. Sharing a meal around the dinner table without televisions, phones or tablets seems “old school” to many, but it also saves on electricity! Next time you cook dinner, consider leaving screens behind. #oldschoolefficiency

Just like us, pets can overheat quickly in the summer. Keep them safe with these simple tips: . ✅ Provide plenty of fresh, cool water . ✅ Never leave them in a parked car—even for a minute . ✅ Walk them during cooler parts of the day . ✅ Offer a shaded spot to rest outdoors

Hydropower can deliver massive amounts of electricity when installed on large rivers! Unlike most energy sources, water can be reused as it moves from one dam to the next, improving renewability while keeping costs low. Learn more: via @NWRiverPartners

They're way too into long-distance relationships. If your home relies on extension cords everywhere, it's a sign you’ve outgrown the setup. It’s time to commit… to more outlets (installed by a professional). 🚩 .👷‍♂️ Call a licensed electrician and report concerns to ICUA.

Happy Independence Day! We hope you and your loved ones have a fun and safe 4th of July!

Family board game night, anyone? Instead of powering up the TVs, computers, and gaming systems, let's gather around the table for some old-school fun and save on energy together! It's a great way to bond while reducing your energy use.

Always ensure your appliances and tools carry the mark of an independent testing laboratory like Underwriters Laboratories (UL). This ensures they meet rigorous safety standards for your peace of mind. 🔍 ✅

Unreasonable California-style lawsuits threaten to bankrupt your co-op and cause the cost of energy to skyrocket. Speak out and tell your senators to support the Wildfire Standard of Care Act. @Voices4Coops

Co-ops do everything they can to protect their communities from the increasing risk of wildfires. But unreasonable lawsuits put your co-op, and your access to reliable and affordable power, at risk. Act now to protect affordable co-op power! @Voices4Coops

Never plug more than one high-wattage appliance into a single outlet. An overloaded outlet is a fire hazard. Stay safe!

Using electric-powered yard tools or running extension cords along wet grass or ground can cause electrical shock. Electrical tools should be at least 10 feet away from damp areas. Better yet, save your electrical outdoor work for when the ground is completely dry.

Dams are one of the few renewable energy sources that can deliver reliable, steady power no matter the weather. Whether it’s a cold snap or a heat wave, dams can quickly ramp up energy generation to meet needs. Learn more: via @NWRiverPartners
