4. Demand for electricity is reduced
When demand for electricity peaks, we will send a wireless signal that “cycles” the compressors ofparticipants’ central air conditioning units and heatpumps. Typically these conservation periods amountto less than 1% of the year.
As participating central air conditioning units andheat pumps are cycling, the demand for energylessens. As a result, less electricity needs to begenerated, helping avert energy shortages andreducing carbon emissions.
