SRP BYOT for Business FAQ

• SRP’s voluntary demand response program is designed to reward your business for reducing electricity use during periods of high demand, while helping the environment and reliability of the grid.

• Participants agree to brief, limited conservation events which adjust their thermostats during peak electric demand periods from May 1 through October 31. You can anticipate at least one adjustment, and a maximum of up to 15 conservation events per summer. Peak demand periods for adjustments typically occur on especially hot days, but conservation events may also be called under other circumstances to reduce strain on the grid. Conservation events will not occur on holidays.

• SRP business electric customers who have installed a qualifying connected thermostat controlling their central air

• Participants will receive a $50 bill credit per device after being accepted into the program and a $25 bill credit per device at the end of the summer season for participating. Up to 100 devices per business will be incentivized.

• By participating in the program, you are helping SRP utilize new technologies that manage energy demand during “peak hours,” which occur when energy usage dramatically increases.

• The SRP BYOT for Business program helps reduce those peaks, and takes some of the strain off the grid during hotter, busier times of the day.
