City of Napoleon Introduces Community Energy Savings, a Smart Thermostat Program

June 29, 2023

The City of Napoleon is now offering Community Energy Savings, a voluntary smart thermostat program designed to reduce the cost of electricity for the community. Napoleon Power and Light electric customers who choose to participate in the program will earn $55 for successfully enrolling in the program.

When Napoleon Power and Light purchases power, the cost is partially based on the periods of highest energy consumption from the previous year. By enrolling in the Community Energy Savings program, customers can help decrease the demand for electricity during times of peak usage. This helps keep electric costs down for the entire community.

How Napoleon’s Community Energy Savings Program works:

  • Purchase an eligible, Wi-Fi-connected thermostat if you don’t already have one (view eligible thermostats)
  • Install the thermostat and enroll it in the program (only electric customers of Napoleon Power and Light may participate in the program)
  • Receive a $55 e-gift card for successfully enrolling in the program
  • Napoleon Power and Light may make remote adjustments to participants’ thermostats during periods of high electric demand between May 1 and September 30
  • Napoleon Power and Light will adjust the enrolled thermostats by no more than four degrees and for no longer than four hours
  • Participants always have control over their thermostat and may opt out of an adjustment event by changing their thermostat settings
  • Customers who maintain their enrollment in the program will be entered for a chance to win a $250 e-gift card at the end of each summer season

In addition to the $55 reward for successfully enrolling, Napoleon Power and Light electric customers are eligible for up to a $100 rebate on qualifying, newly purchased thermostats through Efficiency Smart’s Home Energy Rebates program. Qualifying thermostats can also be purchased through Efficiency Smart’s Online Savings Store with the rebate already applied to the purchase price.
