Peaksaver Program
Be a neighborhood power star with peaksaver. Joining the peaksaver program means you can help reduce the demand for electricity in your community. And you'll feel great knowing you're doing something good for the environment.
It's no sweat to participate. Just sign up to allow Greater Sudbury Hydro Inc. to cycle down your air conditioning temporarily. It will help reduce the strain on the electricity system on summer days when electricity use is at its peak. Greater Sudbury Hydro will only do it when absolutely necessary – typically during weekday afternoons during the hottest days of the summer, and it is unlikely to occur on holidays or weekends. It is anticipated that the system will be activated approximately 5 times per summer.
The device that will be installed in your home, either a switch or thermostat, have the ability to be remotely switched off, in the case of water heaters or raise the temperature setting, in the case of air conditioners from a central point in the Greater City of Sudbury. You probably won’t notice the difference in the comfort level or temperature of your home.
To be eligible you must be the owner (or have the owners permission) of a small business or a homeowner of a single-family home with a Central Air Conditioning System. We’ll do all the work at no expense to you. In fact, you’ll even receive a $25 credit on your electricity bill from Greater Sudbury Hydro just for signing up. You can also include an Electric Water Heater in the program along with your central Air conditioner.
