Demand response is a simple way for you to save money while helping your community maintain a stable power supply. During times when electricity demand is highest—usually on very hot summer days or cold winter mornings—the power grid can become strained. Instead of building more expensive power plants, we work with customers like you to temporarily reduce energy use.
When you join the program, we may send a signal to your smart devices, such as your thermostat, to make small, temporary adjustments. For example, your cooling might decrease by just a few degrees for a short period. These changes are designed to be subtle enough that you likely won’t notice a difference in your comfort.
By participating, you play a vital role in preventing power outages and reducing environmental impact. As a thank you for your contribution, you will receive incentives, such as credits on your monthly energy bill or cash-back rewards, depending on your specific program details.
