During hot summer weekdays, when air conditioners are running at their maximum, the demand for electricity is at its highest. These times are known as ‘peak demand’. If you have a central air conditioner, you can help the province to manage this peak demand by enrolling in peaksaver®.
If you have a central air conditioner, you can help the province to manage this peak demand by enrolling in peaksaver®. It's easy and it's free!
