BC Hydro is urging football fans to consider power consumption on Super Bowl Sunday
BY , Feb 5, 2021 4:01 AM - REPORT AN ERRORBC Hydro is urging football fans to consider power consumption as they munch snacks in front of the television on Super Bowl Sunday.
A release from the Crown utility says, thanks to the pandemic, more people will be watching the big game at home, rather than gathering in large groups, and while that meets health requirements, it could hike electricity use.
Eight hundred people were surveyed on Hydro's behalf and results show that electricity use is expected to climb as all those halftime snacks are cooked and more people watch the game at home on individual television screens, some even watching on more than one screen.
To reduce hydro consumption, football fans are urged to prepare game-time feasts in slow cookers, toaster ovens or instant pots, and to lower the thermostat and watch the game on an ENERGY STAR-rated televisions.
