Demand for electricity is reduced When demand for electricity peaks, we will send a wireless signal that “cycles” the compressors of participants’ central air conditioning units and heat pumps. Typically these conservation periods amount to less than 1% of the year. As participating central air conditioning units and heat pumps are cycling, the demand for energy lessens. As a result, less electricity needs to be generated, helping avert energy shortages and reducing carbon emissions. 5.
