PeakSmart - Prepare for the challenge. Participate in the solution.

PeakSmart is a program which enables local businesses to help prevent energy shortages on days of extremely high demand for electricity.

On certain days of the year, consumers demand significantly more electricity than normal, creating a 'peak demand' situation.

Large electricity customers can help to prevent an energy shortage by participating in the voluntary PeakSmart program.

How it works

If you are a large* PSNH electricity customer:

• PSNH develops a customized plan for temporarily reducing energy usage at your facility.
• PSNH may ask you to temporarily reduce your energy usage, according to the plan, on days when the NH energy price or regional demand for electricity reaches the designated threshold.
• You will be compensated by PSNH, if you decide to participate when requested, according to: your level of energy reduction; and the energy price in effect during the hours you were asked to reduce your energy usage.

For more information, contact your PSNH Account Executive or call PSNH at 1-800-662-7764.
