Peak Saver
Earn rewards for shifting your energy use during peak events
Join Peak Saver to earn money back on your BC Hydro bill for using less electricity during brief times of high demand, called peak events. This program rewards you for being flexible when you use electricity, which helps us manage demand on our system.
Whether you prefer a hands-on challenge or to sit back and leave it to us, there are different options to shift, save and earn money during peak events.
Offers available
Take Peak Saver challenges
Opt in to challenges to chase an energy reduction target for each peak event. Each time you shift or save enough energy to hit the target, you'll earn the reward. Average reward per event: $3.
