Clean Power Alliance’s Peak Management Pricing, or PMP, is a demand response program that helps customers save on their electricity bills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions caused by high energy demand on the power grid.
PMP encourages customers to power down appliances, electronics, air conditioning or other equipment during peak heat days. Customers earn summer bill credits in return for supporting power grid reliability.
Participating customers automatically receive bill credits each month from June through September. In exchange, on up to 15 PMP “event days” each year, customers incur a surcharged rate for energy consumed during peak demand hours — 4 to 9 p.m.
PMP “event days” are typically the hottest days in summer, when electricity demand and prices are at their highest.
Customers are notified by email or text at least 24 hours in advance of a PMP event so they can prepare to reduce energy usage the next day. PMP “event days” occur on non-holiday weekdays and do not exceed three per week, except during a grid emergency.
Customers can join or opt out of the PMP program at any time. Participation during the first 12 months is risk-free with Bill Protection. Bill Protection ensures that if customers end up paying more under PMP than they would have without it, Clean Power Alliance will credit their bill for the difference at the end of the first year.
PMP surcharge and credit rates are shown below. When electricity is used during PMP event days from 4 to 9 p.m., event surcharges apply. Event surcharges apply to energy usage measured in kilowatts per hour, known as in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
Summer incentive credits apply to electricity usage from 4 to 9 p.m. on non-event, non-holiday weekdays from June 1 to Sept. 30 for all residential rates and for TOU-GS-1 and TOU-GS-1-ES rates.
For all other nonresidential rates, summer credits are applied to the maximum monthly on-peak demand measured in kilowatts (kW) from 4 to 9 p.m. from June 1 to Sept. 30.
