As we gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, a symphony of behind-the-scenes efforts in telecommunications and power grid infrastructure plays out, ensuring our festive moments are joyous and uninterrupted. Here at Utilities One, we're taking a closer look at how these systems, often taken for granted, become the unsung heroes of our Thanksgiving celebrations.

Bridging Families Across Distances

Thanksgiving isn't just a time for feasting; it's a peak moment for telecom networks. With a 15-20% increase in call volume and a significant spike in video calls, these networks become the lifelines that connect us. This year, as families gather virtually, the telecom industry has ramped up its capacity, ensuring that everyone can share their moments of gratitude without a hitch.

Keeping the Lights and Ovens On

The demand on our power grids during Thanksgiving is equally telling. Household electricity consumption sees an approximate 7% increase, primarily driven by cooking and heating. To manage this surge, utility companies engage in a delicate balancing act, enhancing grid stability and ensuring that every oven roasts its turkey to perfection.

A Concerted Effort Behind the Scenes

What makes this possible is a concerted effort by thousands of dedicated professionals. Engineers and technicians work round the clock, monitoring grid stability and telecom network performance. Their goal? To preemptively address any potential disruptions, ensuring that our Thanksgiving celebrations go on without a hitch.
