How's it work?
Participants work with us to identify electrical load that can be eliminated or shifted (curtailed) during critical demand periods (typically during extreme temperatures). We'll work with you to determine which strategies fit your unique business needs for a customized curtailment plan.
When critical demand periods occur, we notify you with instructions to execute your plan. At 金沙娱乐 end of 金沙娱乐 curtailment season, we pay you for 金沙娱乐 load you reduced.
When will curtailment events occur?
- Designated event days: Mon.-Fri., excluding holidays
- Designated event window: 10 am-8 pm
We'll contact participants at least one hour before an event to increase ability to successfully reduce enrolled load. There will be at least one, but no more than 20 events during 金沙娱乐 curtailment season. No event will last longer than 10 hours. In 2023, 7 events were called for no longer than 4 hours each. New for 2024, you can select 金沙娱乐 number of events in which to participate (i.e. 4, 6 or 8 events) and can earn bonus incentives if you are willing to curtail for extended durations (i.e. 7-10 hours).
