Through this program, customers are rewarded for using less energy during peak periods, when energy prices are the highest. </p><p><strong>Program Rewards</strong></p><p>Participating customers have the opportunity to earn <strong>HG&amp;E monthly bill credits ($10/month)</strong>.

These customers are required to prove their EV charging schedule is set outside of peak hours.</li></ul><p><strong>How does it work?</strong></p>If you enroll in the Connected Homes – EV Charger Program, HG&amp;E will have the ability to manage or monitor the energy used by your home EV charger. Customers who receive a free Level 2 Charger are required to provide HG&amp;E access to the device through a Wi-Fi connection. HG&amp;E will control customer charging during peak hours (see seasonal schedule below). During these times, if your EV is plugged in, charging will be reduced to a slower rate. As soon as the period has ended, your charger will automatically reset and charge at full speed. Customers are responsible for installation of the Level 2 Charger. <p>Customers with an existing Level 2 home charger agree to schedule EV charging outside of peak hours (see seasonal schedule below).
