与电力供应商合作减低电力负荷
Smith participates in a program with our electricity provider that reduces the stress on the electricity grid during particularly hot days. 当澳门葡京博彩软件收到来自我们供应商的警报时, the following day we will completely generate our own electricity through our on-site co-generation power plant for the requested period of time. 这个项目为澳门葡京博彩软件省了钱,也给校园降温了.
