What is JCP&L’s Energy Savings Rewards program?

• JCP&L’s program is a voluntary program for JCP&L residential electric customers who have eligible smart thermostats connected to their central air conditioning.
• When summer temperatures climb, demand for electricity increases and can cause strain on the grid. JCP&L’s Energy Savings Rewards program is designed to help reduce energy use during times of high energy demand. This decreases the use of less efficient and more expensive power sources. That’s good for the environment, and it helps keep energy costs low for everyone.
• Participants agree to brief adjustments of four degrees or less to their thermostats and a pre-cool of three degrees 90 minutes prior to the event.
• Adjustments to your thermostat will occur during peak electric demand periods from June 1 through Sept. 30. Standard adjustments typically last no more than four hours and will not occur on weekends or holidays, except in the event of a system emergency.
• Participants will receive a one-time $75 virtual prepaid Mastercard® per device after successfully enrolling in the program. In addition, participants will receive a Prepaid Mastercard per device at the end of each program season.

How will I know if I’m eligible to enroll?

• Be a JCP&L residential customer and the electric service is in your name
• Use an eligible internet-connected smart thermostat for cooling
• Allow JCP&L to make brief, small thermostat adjustments on days of high energy demand

How do I sign up for JCP&L’s program?

Confirm your eligibility for the program by answering these three questions:

1. Are you a JCP&L residential electric customer? 2. Do you use an eligible, internet-connected thermostat to control your central air conditioning? 3. Will you allow the program to make brief, small thermostat adjustments on high energy demand days or in the event of a system emergency?

If you answered yes to these three questions, please choose whether you have a thermostat to enroll in JCP&L’s program or if you would like to purchase a new, qualifying thermostat.

• If you have an existing thermostat, please select your thermostat among the eligible models. Then, click the Enroll Now button to go to your thermostat’s enrollment site, where you will follow a series of simple steps to enroll.

• If you don’t have an existing eligible thermostat, please choose a model, purchase and install it. Once you have installed and activated your thermostat, come back to enroll your new thermostat in the program.

• You can purchase a new ENERGY STAR certified smart thermostat from JCP&L’s Marketplace and get an instant discount of up to $100. Visit https://marketplace.energysavenj.com/ and order yours now!

Once your eligibility is confirmed by JCP&L, you will be enrolled in the program. You will receive notification on your enrollment status via email using the address provided in your account registration.

How will I know that a temperature adjustment is in progress?

Depending on your thermostat provider, notifications will appear on the thermostat or in your web/mobile application.

How will my thermostat be adjusted?

• At the start of an adjustment event, your thermostat will be automatically adjusted up to four degrees above the current temperature setting.
• The event will last less than four hours on non-holiday weekdays. Once the event is over, your thermostat will return to its normal setting.
