🚨 American went to lower the air conditioner in her home and her Smart AC gave her a warning she was not allowed to lower the temperature
“My own thermostat was 79 — it had a little warning that said, "You are not allowed to lower your thermostat set point because the energy grid in your regional area is stressed”
This is with Xcel Energy in Colorado
This woman enrolled in Xcel’s voluntary demand-response AC Rewards-style program. Apparently they lure you in with sign on credits of around $50-150 dollars and then they can set limits on your AC
These programs are being run in multiple states already
It starts out as optional to get you used to it and then it becomes mandatory
