### Program Details

Consumers Energy will give you a $50 Virtual Visa® Prepaid Card for signing up for Rush Hour Rewards. Plus, you’ll receive an additional $25 Prepaid Visa Card after the season ends if you participate.

*   There can be multiple rush hour events throughout the year. Rush hour events can consist of a pre-cooling period in the summer or pre-heating period in the winter to make your home more comfortable and a period of time when your energy usage is reduced.
*   Energy rush hours can occur at any time of year between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.
*   There can be multiple rush hour events per day.
*   In the unlikely situation of a critical need on the electric grid, Consumers Energy may need to call a critical rush hour event. Critical rush hour events can occur at any time of day.

Your program details may differ based on your energy provider. Additional details may be found on your energy provider’s website.

### Here's how it works:

Rush hour events happen when there’s unusually high demand on the grid. During these events, your Nest thermostat will adjust your home’s temperature by up to 4°F, helping you to use less energy on heating or cooling during that time. If you start to feel uncomfortable, you can stop participating at any time by changing the temperature.
