How will my thermostat be affected?

When an event begins, your thermostat will be raised up to 4 degrees above its current setting in the summer and decreased up to 4 degrees below its current setting in the winter. Events typically last less than 1 hour. After an event, your thermostat will return to its normal setting.

How will Cooperative Rewards affect my smart thermostat?

You agree to allow brief adjustments to your smart thermostat during times of high electric demand or critical needs. In the summer season (April 1 through October 31), adjustments may be called between 1 to 7 p.m. up to 18 times.

During the winter season (November 1 through March 31), adjustments may be called between 6 p.m. to 10 a.m. up to 18 times.

In case of critical need, more than 18 events may be called in either season. Unless a critical need arises, adjustments will not occur on the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day

What is the goal of Cooperative Rewards?

It was created to help reduce energy use during times of high energy demand or critical need. This decreases the need for PRECO to purchase more expensive power, promotes grid reliability, and helps keep energy costs lower for everyone.
