Connected Rewards℠

BGE customers with a smart thermostat are eligible to participate in the Connected Rewards program and receive $100 during their first year. Connected Rewards program participants will have their thermostat raised up to four degrees during Energy Savings Days. These customers can earn bill credits if they take additional actions to reduce their energy usage during the Energy Savings Day.

Participants will also have their thermostat raised up four degrees during Connected Rewards Adjustment Events. These events could last up to six hours and are usually scheduled during warmer days during the summer. BGE expects to call up to 15 Adjustment Events each summer. Connected Rewards participants' homes will be precooled for up to 90 minutes before the event starts to ensure their home stays comfortable for the duration of the Adjustment Event.
