Energy Events and Price Events
Energy / Price Events occur during specific time intervals when your utility actively reduces
consumer electricity consumption, or institutes higher energy prices to discourage consumption.
This happens when your utility needs to reduce the load on the electricity grid, and these events are
referred to as:
 Energy Events (also known as Demand Response Events, or Demand Response Load
Control Events)
 Price Conservation Events
Energy Events (also known as DRE / DRLC events)
During an Energy Event, your utility sends a signal to the thermostat to indicate that the target
SETPOINT temperatures should be modified in order to reduce the energy use by your heating
and/or air conditioning systems.
In the Home screen the SETPOINT name is replaced by the name
of the Energy Event, which is ENERGY EVENT by default.
For each energy event, your utility will specify when the event will start and end, as well as either a
desired temperature, a target temperature offset or duty cycle.
