As a SmartSave customer, your participation helps contribute to grid resiliency in your community by automatically reducing your electrical needs during periods of peak usage.

Reducing energy usage helps lessen environmental impact.

By participating, you and your neighbors collectively may help reduce utility provider reliance on “peaker” plants. Peaker plants may be used by your utility provider during peak demand and typically emit more pollution to the environment than other power plants.

During grid events – times of peak energy use – avoid using power-hungry appliances that use the most electricity, like stoves, dryers, washers, etc.

If you do laundry, wash in cold water and hang dry your clothes.

Avoid taking a bath and limit showers to 5 minutes or less.

Use vent fans to remove sources of humidity in bathrooms and kitchens.

To participate in SmartSave, you need to receive electricity from an electric utility/energy provider. If you have an account with a participating electric utility and pay electricity bills to them then you may be eligible to participate in SmartSave.
