How Earnings Are Calculated

1

Baseline Energy Usage

We establish your typical energy consumption during similar conditions (same day of week, time of day, weather) based on your historical usage patterns.

2

Event Performance

During demand response events (typically 2-4 hours), we measure how much energy you reduce compared to your baseline. The more you reduce, the more you earn.

3

Payment Calculation

Payments are based on your verified energy reduction multiplied by the program's incentive rate. Rates vary by utility and season, typically ranging from $1-3 per kWh reduced.
