What is BGEs PeakRewardsSM program?
PeakRewards℠ is designed by BGE to help ease the “peak” demand for electricity in the Mid-Atlantic region. It’s part of the BGE Smart Energy Savers Program®, which helps you conserve energy, save money and protect the environment. The PeakRewards℠ A/C program gives you a professionally installed Smart Switch or Smart Thermostat. These technologies allow BGE to cycle the compressor on your central air conditioner or electric heat pump during periods of peak electric demand in summer months. In exchange for allowing BGE to cycle your compressor, you will receive credits on your summer BGE bills every year in which you are enrolled. You’ll also get a matching bonus during your first year of participation. PeakRewards℠ is available to BGE residential electric customers regardless of their electricity supplier.
