EXECUTIVE ORDERS
(b) The use of electricity in each
building, or part of a building, owned, leased,
or occupied by the State, or by a county,
municipality, city, or other public entity in the
service area defined in paragraph 1, shall be
curtailed, effective 12:01 a.m., February 23,
1978, to a level of approximately 90 percent of
the usage in the corresponding month of the prior
year[, and, effective 12:01 a.m., March 2, 1978,
to a level of approximately 80 percent of the
usage in the corresponding month of the prior
year ].
(c) The curtailment plan
established by this paragraph shall be
accomplished by each industrial, commercial, and
public user in a manner that will minimize
economic dislocation and will provide for the
continued protection and safety of human life,
the protection of physical plant facilities, and
the maintenance of employee security.
(d) Except as provided in (e), the
curtailment plan established by this paragraph
shall apply to all industrial, commercial, and
public customers of the Potomac Edison Company,
whether served directly by the Company or
indirectly by a wholesale customer of the
Company.
(e) The curtailment plan
established by this paragraph shall not apply to
a customer or type of customer of the Potomac
Edison Company which uses electricity in the
provision of essential health, safety,
transportation, communication, fuel production,
or water supply or sanitation services, if
curtailment to the levels specified in this
paragraph will affect substantially the provision
of such services. However, such customers shall
curtail the use of electricity to a level
consistent with the continued provision of such
essential services to the public.
3. In the event of a conflict between a
provision of paragraph 2 and the requirements of
a curtailment plan adopted pursuant to
curtailment policies of the appropriate Federal
authorities and the Maryland Public Service
Commission, the latter requirements shall apply.
4. (a) All lighting used for
