Help test a new way of managing electricity demand

The Alberta Energy Efficiency Alliance (AEEA) is partnering with EPCOR, CLEAResult, and leading smart thermostat brands to offer the Peak Rewards Pilot for Smart Thermostats to eligible EPCOR customers in select Edmonton neighborhoods.

This pilot explores how small, temporary adjustments to cooling during peak demand periods can help support a more resilient electricity grid. Your participation helps EPCOR evaluate innovative demand‑side solutions as part of our broader grid‑modernization efforts.
