Watch today’s MLGW/City of Memphis weather press conference
The Tennessee Valley Authority is requiring Memphis and other TVA customer utilities to shed 5% to 10% of the electric power load they get from the federal agency.
As such, beginning at 11:30 a.m. Friday, Dec. 23, 2022, MLGW will implement systemwide “rolling blackouts.”
That means service to areas will be interrupted for 30 minutes to an hour at a time with each area experiencing such outages twice a day on average.
A press conference is scheduled for noon.
