The Peaksaver Program
Be a neighbourhood power star with peaksaver!Joining the peaksaver program means you can help reduce the demand for electricity in your community. And you'll feel great knowing you're doing something good for the environment.It's no sweat to participate. Just sign up to allow Hydro One Brampton to cycle down your air conditioning temporarily. It will help reduce the strain on the electricity system on summer days when electricity use is at its peak. We'll only do it when absolutely necessary (usually between 12 p.m. and 6 p.m. on weekdays; never on weekends or holidays). We'll install a programmable thermostat valued at $250 that allows us to send a wireless signal to cycle down your air conditioner. You probably won't notice the difference in the comfort level or temperature of your home. To be eligible, you must be a homeowner of a single-family home with a central cooling system. We'll do all the work at no expense to you. In fact, you'll even receive a $25 credit on your bill from Hydro One Brampton just for signing up. What will you save?You'll be helping reduce smog and air pollution because coal-fired and gas-fired generating stations will be used less often. And you'll help avoid the need for costly new generating stations.By reducing the amount of electricity needed at peak times, you'll be reducing the chance of voltage reductions or other disruptions in the power system. And you'll help keep electricity prices lower. During peak times, Ontario has to buy power from other places and this is expensive, increasing the overall cost of electricity. By helping to reduce the demand for energy, you help to ensure less expensive electricity is purchased for the province's needs. It's cheaper to save a kilowatt than it is to make one. peaksaver is there to help Ontario meet its peak electricity needs - and your help is crucial. | |||
