NYSEG and RG&E designed the Smart Savings Rewards program to reward you for helping them improve the community and its energy grid. NYSEG and RG&E will work with you to manage usage when summer energy demand is at its highest.

As a thank you for signing up, you’ll get $70 for each eligible internet-connected thermostat** you enroll in Smart Savings Rewards. In return, you agree to let NYSEG or RG&E make brief, limited adjustments to your thermostat when summer electricity demand is at its highest. Fully participate in thermostat adjustments and you’ll earn a $20 bill credit per household at the end of the season. To enroll, NYSEG and RG&E electricity customers must have an eligible thermostat connected to a central air conditioning system.

During an adjustment made by NYSEG or RG&E, your thermostat will be automatically shifted up to 4 degrees from the current temperature for up to 4 hours. A pre-cool may be scheduled by NYSEG or RG&E prior to the temperature increase. Pre-cools can lower your thermostat temperature by 3 degrees from the current temperature for up to 90 minutes. Thermostat adjustments only occur days, excluding holidays, when electricity demand is at its highest between 1pm and 7pm and will occur no more than 15 times per summer (May 1 through September 30). Once the adjustment is over, your thermostat will return to its normal set point and/or schedule. Control is always in your hands and you can opt out of a thermostat adjustment at any time from your mobile device, web browser, or thermostat.
