Participating in the Austin Energy Power Partner Program
On really hot weekdays between 3 to 6 pm from June to September, Austin Energy may call for a temperature adjustment.
During these events, your ecobee thermostat will be adjusted by a few degrees for up to four hours. With eco+ enabled, the temperature adjustment will be tailored to your savings preferences.
All adjustments are voluntary and you always have control of your thermostat. You can end an adjustment by changing the temperature on your thermostat, through the mobile app, or through the web portal.
If you are installing multiple thermostats at a property but not at the same time:
1. Install and enroll all desired thermostats
2. Email PowerPartnerThermostats@austinenergy.com with all thermostat serial numbers to ensure that thermostat bill credits are captured
