Power Manager®

Why Sign Up?

• You will receive $32 in bill credits each year for your participation (an $8 credit on your electric bills from July through October).
• You will help preserve the environment and keep electric costs low by reducing the demand for electricity and delaying the need to build additional power plants in our region.

How the Program Works

• Duke Energy will install a small device near your outside air conditioning unit.
• Using this device, your air conditioner may be temporarily interrupted for a portion of each hour during the few times a summer demand for electricity may reach critical levels.
• In these infrequent events, your air conditioner will be turned off and on in coordination with other Power Manager customers to reduce the overall demand for electricity.
• Your indoor fan is not affected and will continue to circulate air to help keep your home comfortable.
• Power Manager will not be used on nights, weekends or holidays (except in a system emergency).

Power Manager is an easy way to do something positive for yourself and the environment.
