Save Money by Reducing Electric Use During Peak Periods

Sign up for Choptank Electric’s Load Control Rider program

Cooperative members can receive credit for controlling their electric load during certain peak periods through our voluntary Load Control Rider program. Members billed under the General Service — Irrigation (FI) rate or a rate that includes a demand component (outlined below) can enroll in this free program. There is no penalty for not curtailing your use during the designated peak periods — but a big benefit if you can control your electric load!
Members will receive a $6 payout for each kW curtailed during each PJM 5-High peak and a $15 payout for each kW curtailed during the Transmission peak. Notice of peak periods will be issued by Choptank Electric via text message (members may opt in through SmartHub) and our website under “Your Power.”
