The Peak Perks Program is designed to encourage consumers to reduce their electricity usage during peak demand periods by offering incentives. Participants in Peak Perks save with their smart thermostats by participating in brief, time limited thermostat adjustments during periods of peak electricity demand that can occur on the hottest summer days.

• A $75 prepaid credit card for enrolling.
• An additional $20 annually for continued participation starting in 2024.

To be eligible to participate in Peak Perks, you must:

1. Be a residential or small business electricity customer in Ontario* with central air
   conditioning or a rooftop unit that is controlled by your smart thermostat. Heat pumps
   that are part of central air conditioning are also eligible.
2. Be a business with 50 or fewer employees on site at the business at any point in time,
   under the full operating capacity of that business.
3. Have an eligible Wi-Fi enabled smart thermostat installed in your home or business.
4. Not be participating in another residential demand response program in Ontario where
   your thermostat is automatically adjusted to help maintain reliability of the electricity
   grid.

• Peak Perks events will occur only on weekdays for up to three hours during periods of
• peak demand for electricity. Events will not take place on weekends or holidays.
• Events can occur up to 10 times between June and September.
• During an event, your thermostat will be automatically adjusted no more than two degrees Celsius to reduce your home or business’s energy consumption.
• Prior to an event, your thermostat may be adjusted down slightly to pre-cool your home or business so that you remain comfortable while an event is taking place.
• You are always in control – you will be notified when an event occurs and can opt out at any time during an event from your thermostat provider’s mobile app, or by simply adjusting your smart thermostat back to your desired comfort level.
• Once an event ends, your thermostat will return to its original temperature setting.
• Enbridge customers can take advantage of Enbridge’s $75 instant discount toward the purchase of a new smart thermostat.
• You may also qualify for a free smart thermostat as part of Save on Energy’s Energy Affordability Program

Enroll through the Save on Energy website or, if you’re a Hydro One customer, through their My Energy Rewards program.
