What is Evergy's Thermostat Program?

Evergy's Thermostat Program is the program that rewards you for being a bit more flexible with your smart thermostat schedule. As a participant, you help make energy cleaner and more cost-effective for everyone—plus you'll get $100 when you enroll, and another $25 after each summer season, starting in your second year of participation.

Here's how it works: on extremely hot or cold days, energy demand can spike so much that getting power to everyone who needs it can become inefficient—and expensive. On days when we anticipate there will be a high demand for energy, Evergy's Thermostat Program will schedule Energy Savings Events: this means we'll shift some of your energy use out of the hours when demand is highest. We'll do this by working with your thermostat to keep your home comfortable all day, while being a bit more flexible about when we heat or cool it. 

By tweaking your thermostat schedule so your heating or cooling uses less energy during the most high-demand hours, and coordinating your energy use with thousands of others', we can keep energy demand (and prices) under control while keeping you comfy.
