How it works
On cold winter mornings and hot summer afternoons, the demand for electricity and the cost is at its highest. During these peaks, your local cooperative will pre-cool or pre-heat your house. That way, you stay comfy while your HVAC system reduces its use of electricity. Plus, you’re always in control. You can adjust your thermostat at any time.
Reducing energy use when demand is high helps keep wholesale power costs stable.
HOLD DOWN power costs for all members and make a positive impact on the environment. Join other Beat The Peak volunteers in the Smart Thermostat Program today!
