Electricity Use Survey

UC Davis is currently asking for people to complete a 30 minute survey regarding the Spring 2008 energy crisis: what you did then, and what you have done since then. Your responses will help them better understand how Juneau responded to the temporary loss of hydroelectric generation and associated increase in electricity prices.

JEDC has all the latest information and tips on our Electricity Crisis page.
