Do you live in The Golden State or Lone Star State? Check out GridRewards for California or Texas!
GridRewards is an award-winning, free app that tells you when and how to reduce your energy usage. Earn cash payments and reduce your electricity bill all year round.
Unplug during events.
GridRewards events are the most important times to save electricity. We’ll tell you when they’re happening — usually during hot summer afternoons, about 5-10 times per year.
Get paid. Get your friends paid.
Get $10 for each friend you refer. Work together with your neighborhood to earn extra rewards and multiply your impact!
Reduce your carbon footprint.
Keep an eye on your electricity use and carbon footprint. Get personalized energy insights and learn about the best times to use energy.
An average household can earn more than $100/year
Oh, and 97% of GridRewards participants got paid last year.
Small change adds up.
Reduce your energy use for just a few hours during the most important days of the year, and you’ll have an outsized impact on the carbon footprint for your entire city. Refer friends to make extra money and multiply your impact.
Where does the money come from?
Your utility company pays to reduce electricity at peak times to help maintain system reliability in your community.
Who’s eligible?
Households in the Con Edison service area are eligible.
How can I use GridRewards?
GridRewards is available for iOS and Android devices, and also available on the web and via SMS.
Estimated earnings are based on a typical household's 1kW savings during a GridRewards event.
Steps you can take during a GridRewards event
Warm it up
Raise your air conditioning temperature by four degrees or so.
Clean later
Shift your washer, dryer, and dishwasher use outside the event window.
Unplug
Unplug your electronics — from phone chargers to electric vehicles, it all counts.
Close the shades
Keeping the sun out helps keep your rooms cool without air conditioning.
Lower the lights
Flip off your light switches, or dim just the necessary lights while it's dark.
Relax
Use the time as an excuse to get outside, ride your bike, take a nap, or meet up with friends.
