All summer long, you get an 18% lower rate for 19 hours each weekday and all weekend.

For this low rate, you agree to reduce your electricity from 2 6 p.m. on Energy Savings Event days.

Good For You If:


You want to maximize savings by paying close attention to electricity use

When you agree to participate, you'll get an 18% discount on your electricity use for 19 hours a day on weekdays and all weekend long. In exchange, you will be charged $1 per kWh for any electricity used during Energy Savings Events.

You can watch closely for alerts about summer Energy Savings Events

You will be notified by text or email the day before an Energy Savings Event occurs. Get ready to take action when you receive these alerts.

You are confident you can shift electricity use during Energy Savings Events

Manage how much you are spending on energy during events by shifting as much electricity use as possible to the morning or later in the evening.

How It Works


  • You help conserve energy by temporarily shifting or reducing electricity use on select Energy Savings Event days in the summer. There will be no more than 14 events per summer. Each event typically lasts four hours.

  • For any electricity used during event hours, you will be charged $1 per kWh between the hours of 2 6 p.m. So, the more you shift your electric use out of those four hours, the more you’ll save.

  • In the days following the event, we’ll send your energy use report. You’ll see how much energy you saved by reducing energy use on the most critical days of the year.

Simple Ways to Shift Electricity Use


Adjust Your Air Conditioning

In the morning, pre-cool your home at 2-3 degrees lower than normal. Then, just before 2 p.m., set your thermostat 3-5 degrees higher than normal. Or install a smart thermostat to help schedule changes for you.

Postpone Chores

Do the dishes and laundry before 2 p.m. or after 6 p.m., or wait until the weekend.

Use a Smart Plug

Plug electronic devices into a smart plug to prevent them from consuming more energy even when they’re off or in standby mode. Schedule your smart plug to turn off devices during event hours.
