2019 was another successful MEGA Summer season and it blew our socks off once more. Together, through our individual micro-actions of things like unplugging electronics and dining by candlelight during #OhmHours, we were able to reduce demand on the energy grid by more than 380 MWh, which is the carbon equivalent of:
... in just FOUR months!
We can't wait to see what we can accomplish this year.
What's an #OhmHour?
#OhmHours are windows of time where saving energy matters most. When you power down in these critical times, you get paid! Typically, #OhmHours last one hour. During the summer, when the energy grid is highly stressed, they can be longer. Connect your utility account to get started!
Okay... what's a MEGA #OhmHour?
MEGA #OhmHours happen when the grid is especially stressed. They happen a few times throughout the summer and typically come with higher payouts, especially if you’ve got a points multiplier by being Gold status or higher! Unlike last year, MEGA #OhmHours on their own don’t qualify you for the weekly prize.
