About

Using less energy when demand is high can help reduce strain on the energy grid, ensuring everyone has safe and reliable power.  When demand increases during the summer, you’ll get a request to decrease your electricity use. You can do this by raising the temperature of your air conditioner or thermostat, turning lights off, and delaying when you use large appliances, like your dishwasher, clothes washer and electric ovens. 

It’s free to participate and you can opt out at any time. All you need to enroll is an active Con Edison electric account and a smart meter.

Deadlines 

You can enroll at any point throughout the year, but you will only be able to earn Smart Usage Rewards from May 1 to September 30.
