LANSING, MI — The Lansing Board of Water & Light (BWL) has launched a new “demand response” program called Peak Power Partner for its residential electric customers. The new program allows eligible customers with certain brands and models of smart thermostats to enroll in the program that will reduce energy usage by allowing the BWL to slightly adjust the thermostat settings during what the utility calls “energy events.”
Customers who participate must allow their thermostat to be automatically adjusted for up to four hours during hot and humid summer days to reduce demand for energy consumption. Participants will receive prior notification of each energy event and may choose to opt-out of events if needed.
Participants who successfully enroll in the program will be given a $50 gift card, plus a $25 gift card at the end of each year they participate in at least 50% of the yearly energy events that are identified by Lansing BWL.
