Business Curtailment Program

Get paid to reduce demand!

Incentives to reduce your energy demand during OPPD peak load periods

Demand Reduction Rewards

Hot summers and hard-working A/C units create seasonal usage peaks for utilities. OPPD offers incentives to customers for reducing electricity demand during these periods. This helps keep OPPD rates low and also delays the need for new utility generation.

Earn a monthly bill credit for reducing building-electricity demand as needed during peak-use periods. Agree to curtail energy at OPPD’s request (with advance notice) and you’ll receive the credit whether your services are requested that month or not. Approval into the curtailment program requires a review of your usage history and/or a review of facility operations to determine how much credit you’ll qualify for, so start the process and get in touch with your OPPD senior account executive or account executive today.

Curtailment chart of monthly credits

Rate 467L energy credit is determined by the number of hours energy is leased during an event.
For example, 100 kilowatts (kW) curtailed for a 6 hour event would receive an energy credit of $0.16 per kilowatt hour (kWh):
100kW * 6hr * $0.16/kWh = $96 (added on top of the base capacity credit)
