How Earnings Are Calculated
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.
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.
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.
