今年夏天讓我們一起節電、省錢、護電網

超過 180 萬名的 PG&E 客戶,已自動登記加入這項全新的州計畫,只要節約能源就能獲得獎勵 【加州屋崙訊 】隨著本月推出了全新的Power Saver Rewards Program後,太平洋煤電公司(PG&E)的客戶在十月底前,只要在特定炎熱日子裡節約能源,就會獲得獎勵。 這是免費且自願參加的計畫,而且這個月已經有 180 萬名客戶登記加入。我們鼓勵其他人也一起加入。目標很簡單:在炎熱的日子節約能源,降低對加州電網的壓力。「Power Saver Rewards Program 確實是兩全其美的好計畫,因為客戶在炎熱日子節約能源的話就能獲得財務獎勵,同時還能降低對電網的需求壓力,確保持續供電的可靠性,還能讓空氣變得較乾淨。即使沒有節約能源,也不會增加成本或受到處罰,而只是多了降低用量就能獲得獎勵的好機會。如此意味著,客戶在加入計畫後,就只會省錢而已,絕不會因此需要付更多錢。」PG&E 業務開發與客戶互動副總裁 Aaron August 說道。在 5 月 1 日到 10 月 31 日間,當加州的電網營運公司加州電力調度中心(California Independent System Operator)發布能源緊急事件警示注意(Energy Emergency Alert Watch)及/或節電警示(Flex Alert)時,就會觸發 Power Saver Rewards 事件日。PG&E 會在事件日的前一日發出電子郵件或簡訊通知,提醒客戶降低能源用量的時間。客戶如在特定炎熱日子的下午 4 點到 9 點期間節約用電的話,就會在本計畫季節結束後,獲得帳單的減免額度。減免額度會取決於客戶節省了多少用電。客戶在事件期間降低用電量,每千瓦小時(kWh)[1]會獲得 2 美元的年度帳單減免額度。這項計畫是由 California Public Utilites Commision 所推動,目的在鼓勵大家降低對電網的整體壓力,並避免發電廠需要使用石化燃料。客戶可透過把恆溫器調到 78 度或更高(健康狀況允許下)、關閉未使用的電燈、拔除電動車插頭、以及在電網需求高峰期過後再使用洗衣機、乾衣機及電烤箱等大型家電等作法,暫時降低能源用量。 擁有 SmartMeter 的 PG&E 電力客戶,如未登記加入相互排斥的尖峰時刻計畫者,即符合加入本計畫的資格。已加入社區電力整合方案(Community Choice …
