GWP Launches Peak Savings Demand Response Program

Glendale Water & Power (GWP) has launched its new Peak Savings Program, a demand response program for residential and commercial customers. Through the Peak Savings Program, customers will receive incentives for reducing demand on the electric grid on days when demand is highest (called peak events). The program will be run by Franklin Energy, a leading provider of energy efficiency and grid optimization solutions.

For residential customers, the program will automatically adjust customer smart thermostats by up to three degrees Fahrenheit on peak events. Participating customers receive $50 for enrolling and $50 each year on their enrollment anniversary through a prepaid debit card. Customers who do not have a smart thermostat are eligible to receive a $100 instant rebate when purchasing a smart thermostat through GWP’s Energy & Water Efficiency Marketplace that will be launched in the coming weeks.

Commercial customers that participate in the program receive a complimentary site assessment to determine ways to reduce energy during peak events. An energy advisor will provide a customized energy reduction plan that will be implemented on peak events to help reduce peak electric demand. Participating commercial customers can receive up to $250 per event.

For more information and to enroll in peak savings visit www.GWPPeakSavings.com.  The Peak Savings Program is designed to deliver up to 10 MW of controllable demand by 2024.
