How does Energy Wise Rewards work?
When you enroll, we’ll connect an indoor Energy Wise Rewards programmable thermostat or an outdoor Digital Control Unit (DCU) to your central air conditioning unit. On selected days from June through October, we’ll automatically cycle participating air conditioners to help balance the region’s demand for electricity. These events are known as Energy Wise Rewards “conservation periods”. The more participants there are in the program, the greater the likelihood of reduced duration for any single conservation period. Energy Wise Rewards works best when it is truly a community-wide effort.
