The water heater savings program was created to reduce peak load on the electric system during times of extreme cold or extreme heat. During these times, a radio signal turns off the electric current to hot water tanks with the switches. Once the peaking condition has passed, the radio signal ends and current is restored.
Incentives
Participants in the program receive 125 points redeemable as a $1.25 bill credit for as long as the consumer has the switch in place.
