Peak Time Rebates
The Peak Time Rebates Cloud Service is an energy-savings initiative aimed at encouraging people to reduce energy during peak event days in the summer or winter seasons, thereby lowering energy demand on a large scale. This is accomplished by offering customers monetary credits towards their next bill when they reduce their energy use during peak events.
A peak event is a specific day and time during which utilities may charge their customers significantly higher rates for energy consumption. During such times, utilities may offer rebates for reduction in energy use. Peak events often occur in extreme weather conditions during the summer or winter seasons when the demand for energy is high. Customers enrolled in the Peak Time Rebates Cloud Service will receive one or more of the following communications to motivate them to save energy during the peak event and reduce their bills:
- Pre-event and post-event emails
- Pre-event and post-event phone calls
- Pre-event and post-event text messages
- Web-based insights
