Become a Peak Performer
The Peak Performers program rewards businesses of all sizes for limiting energy use during times of high demand. Enroll today to earn cash incentives.
How Peak Performers Works
When demand for energy is high, like during summer’s hottest days, PSO calls on its team of Peak Performers to help. You decide how to reduce your energy usage, and then PSO pays you based on how much energy you saved.
-
- Businesses of all sizes can participate.
- You’ll be notified of peak events before they occur.
- You can participate in as many or as few peak events as you like.
- Get cash back based on the average kilowatts you saved at the end of the season.
What Are the Benefits?
Helps Keep Electricity Costs Stable
If energy usage were to remain high over a sustained period, PSO would have to build new power plants, and the cost of new facilities would drive up electricity costs for everyone. Peak Performers is designed to reduce electricity use in our communities during peak times to help prevent that.
Earn Rewards for Participating
PSO will pay your company $32 per Average Kilowatt Savings. If you participate in all peak events, PSO will pay you a bonus equal to 5% of your Average Kilowatt Savings payment.
Ensures Reliability of Electrical Grid
Your participation helps make sure that you and your neighbors have reliable access to power during periods of high demand. Lowering your electricity usage when demand is high helps offset the need for costly grid upgrades and new power plants, which in turn reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
Participation Is Voluntary
Participation is completely voluntary and PSO does not control any of your facility’s equipment. Participating businesses may opt out of any peak event without penalty.
