A FEW HOURS EACH YEAR HAVE A BIG IMPACT
A few times per year, when the electricity grid is totally maxed out, power companies have to spin up older, less-efficient power plants. This often happens on hot summer afternoons when everyone’s running their air conditioning. Spinning up and running these plants is so expensive and harmful to the environment, that the power company is willing to incentivize people to use less electricity during these peak times – we call them GridRewards events, and we’ll tell you when they’re happening. There are about 5-10 GridRewards events per year.
USE IT EVERY DAY
Come back to the app any time to see how your actions improve your efficiency grade, and see whether it’s a good, bad, or really truly awful time to use electricity.

GridRewards bonuses are available in certain regions within the US only, and some features within the app require a participating power provider. We’re constantly working to expand to new areas!

Ratings and Reviews
Loads of useful data
Much better metrics than Coned has on their website or app. I would recommend it for this alone! It would be great if they had an option for time of use rates.
Beware - Rewards never paid (so far)
I participated in two GridRewards events in June. The app has been saying to check for the results in a “few days” ever since. They sent an email on July 2 saying the results would be posted “next week”. That never happened. I emailed customer service about it, and no answer. I’m sorry to say, but so far this has been handled horribly. At least, they should send more update emails to let people know what’s happening, but because they are not, I have to give this product a 1 star and stop recommending it to people.
Fine so far ✅
The app seems fine but I think the History section should be a direct link (like Events).
It’s something that you want to see quickly to determine how your actions worked. And scrolling down the home page is not the most intuitive thing to do.
Otherwise the app is fine but the Event season will be the real test.
