The Power with Responsibility (PWR) Thermostat Program is a forward-looking initiative that helps homes support a stronger, more efficient energy grid using smart thermostat technology. By reducing energy use during peak demand, the program eases pressure on the grid while keeping comfort fully in your control.
Participants receive advanced thermostat systems and can earn incentives based on their energy choices and real-time grid conditions. Through a simple mobile experience, users decide when and how their homes support the grid, helping improve the energy system without giving up control.
Receive ongoing incentives for participating in the initiative. Incentives are based on your choices and grid conditions.
Unlike traditional demand response programs, with PWR, you decide how your thermostat responds to grid needs, not the utility. Express your choice with our easy-to-use mobile app. Use the app once and forget about it, or use the app everyday – it’s up to you. Pause participation or change your choices at any time.
Use the PWR mobile app to see, in real time, the amount of energy that your air conditioner or heat pump is using and how it is responding to grid conditions.
During heat waves and cold spells, the electric grid is strained. PWR technology enables customers to use the existing grid more effectively, lowering costs for everyone.
