The company that you pay monthly for electricity is not the only supplier. I know here in NJ you can choose who the supplier to your company is, but you still pay your bill to say, JCP&L or PSE&G. They just get the supply from any one of these suppliers.
I'm with Biker - they need to step up and find a place to supplement their supply to their customers. Telling people to cut their water heater off for 4 hours is bullshit. The tank will cool down and it takes just as much energy to warm that back up as it does to keep it steady.
If I lived there and this shit happened, I'd be rounding up a crowd and making a huge stink.
Conservation is one thing, but forcing conservation because they can't handle the demand and shutting down power all together is another.
