Nest thermostats learn what temperatures you like so they can keep you comfortable and help you save energy. With Rush Hour Rewards, you can get rewarded for using less energy when everyone else is using more. And, by enrolling, your Nest thermostat can do it for you automatically, but you will always remain in control.
BGE will give you a $50 prepaid card per thermostat for signing up for the BGE’s Connected Rewards℠ program powered by Rush Hour Rewards. And if you stay enrolled through the season, you’ll receive an additional $50 prepaid card per thermostat. BGE is here to help and will continue to provide customers with energy and money-saving programs. You need to be a BGE customer with central air conditioning to participate. |

- Energy rush hours can occur at any time of year between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.
- There can be multiple rush hour events per day.

Here's how it works:
Rush hour events happen when there’s unusually high demand on the grid. During these events, your Nest thermostat will adjust your home’s temperature by up to 4 degrees F, helping you to use less energy on heating or cooling during that time. If you start to feel uncomfortable, you can stop participating at any time by changing the temperature.
