Demand Response
What is Demand Response and why do we care about its success?
Demand Response is a program run by electric utilities across the country, to incentivize residential customers to shift their electric usage from peak periods of the day to off peak. An $85 one-time incentive is available for each qualified thermostat enrolled in PSEGLI’s Smart Saver program. |
Beginning in the second year of participation, when you participate in a minimum of 50% of all curtailment events/season, you will receive an additional $25/thermostat each year you participate.
Events are called by PSEGLI on hot summer days when the demand for electricity is very high. These events have typically occurred between 4pm and 8pm, in July and August, and range in duration from 2 to 4 hours. During 2022 there were a total of 2 events. |
