Smart Energy Plan | Con Edison

Say Hello to the Smart Energy Plan

With the Smart Energy Plan, it’s easier than ever before to manage your energy use and costs. Making small changes can add up to savings over time.

In the past, the only way to save was to cut back on your overall energy use—something we know can be difficult. Now with the Smart Energy Plan, we’re giving you more control.

How the Smart Energy Plan is Different

The delivery portion of your bill will now be based on how efficiently you use the grid.

Your new delivery cost will be based on when you choose to use electricity and how much electricity your devices use at the same time. The fewer devices you use at once, the less energy you’ll need to power them.

The difference between our standard delivery rate and the Smart Energy Plan is like the difference between a car’s speedometer and odometer. The speedometer records a car’s speed at a specific moment in time, which is how your delivery will now be measured. The odometer records the number of miles a car travels over time, which is how energy usage is measured.

You’ve Got Two Ways to Save

Stagger

Stagger the use of your large electric devices instead of using them all at once to lower your energy delivery costs.

On the left: Large devices, including an air conditioner, dishwasher, electric oven, and dryer, stacked to symbolize high simultaneous use at 6 p.m. On the right: Large devices in a row to symbolize staggered energy use. The dryer and air conditioner are in use at 6 p.m., the dishwasher and air conditioner are in use at 7 p.m., and the air conditioner is in use at 8 p.m.

Shift

Shift your energy use to off-peak hours to see even greater savings.

Peak: Noon to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday
Off-peak: All other hours

See How You Can Save

By staggering the use of large devices, you can save money, especially during peak hours. Waiting until off-peak hours and staggering the use of large devices saves the most money on delivery costs.
