Yukon Energy Launches New Version of Peak Smart Home
December 10, 2024
Yukon Energy has launched the bring-your-own-device version of its demand-side management program, Peak Smart Home.
Peak Smart Home shifts electricity consumption away from periods of peak demand using utility-controlled thermostats and hot water tank controllers to reduce pressure on the grid. During these periods, Yukon Energy will make subtle changes to the temperature of participating Yukoners’ homes or hot water tanks. Participants will always have control of their devices and can choose to override or change the settings of their devices at any time.
In this version of Peak Smart Home, Yukoners can purchase an eligible thermostat or hot water tank controller that is best suited for their home. When they do, they can receive up to 75% off the purchase and installation costs via a rebate from the Government of Yukon. Plus, when people sign up, they will be automatically entered into Yukon Energy’s Peak Smart contest, with $5,000 worth of prizes to be won.
For information on eligible devices, how to sign up, and how to apply for a rebate, Yukoners can visit peaksmart.ca.
