How the Smart

Thermostat program works

You don’t have to do anything! Before periods of high energy demand, known as Peak Time Events, we’ll automatically and briefly adjust your thermostat’s energy usage to pre-cool/pre-heat your home. During the event, your thermostat will reduce energy use when demand is highest, which supports sustainable energy and keeps prices lower for the community. You can control and change your settings at any time. Get started by signing up below. Learn more about the Smart Thermostat program >

Receive $25 from PGE when you successfully sign up for Smart Thermostat program.
Get $25 when you participate in at least 50% of event hours during a summer and/or winter season.
There are typically 5 to 6 events during the winter season with a maximum of 15 events, and each event will be no longer than 4 hours.

Peak Time Events can occur between 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. during the summer season. In the winter season, events can occur between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. or 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.
Opt-out of an event by changing the temperature on your thermostat.
