What is My Energy Bill+?

My Energy Bill+ offers eligible Florida residential customers a fixed monthly bill for 12 months in exchange for allowing Duke Energy to temporarily adjust their smart thermostats during periods of peak demand.  The program can help customers more effectively budget and manage their energy bills. 

Here’s how it works: On extremely hot and 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, My Energy Bill+ Events will be scheduled. 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 system uses less energy during the most high-demand hours, and coordinating your energy use with thousands of others, we can keep energy demand under control while keeping you comfy.
