Hydro One is expanding its rewards program for customers using smart devices in their homes.
The myEnergy Rewards program currently benefits customers who own smart thermostats by providing financial incentives for reduced energy use during the summer. Hydro One announced Thursday customers can now enrol other smart home devices, including electric vehicles and chargers.
More than 11,000 customers have registered their smart thermostats, which allows Hydro One to temporarily adjust the temperature in their homes by a few degrees during periods of high demand for energy in the province. The company says more than 80 per cent of participants surveyed said they were “extremely satisfied or satisfied” with the rewards program.
“Hydro One is committed to finding new ways to better optimize the electricity network so energy can remain reliable and resilient for our customers well into the future,” Spencer Gill, vice-president and executive lead, asset management and grid modernization, said in a news release. “By providing our customers with new and innovative ways to use their smart home devices, including electric vehicles and chargers, we can work together to enable a more sustainable Ontario.”
