Community Energy Savings: Smart Thermostat Program

The City of Oberlin, through its partnership with AMP, is participating in the Community Energy Savings Program,
which is designed to help reduce energy use during times of high electric demand and lower energy costs for the
community.  As part of this program, OMLPS customers with eligible smart thermostats may enroll in the
Smart Thermostat Program to allow small, temporary adjustments to be made to their thermostats during
times of high demand. Enrolled customers may opt out at any time. 

Customers who enroll in the program will receive a $55 e-gift card! (Pre-Paid Master Card)
Customers who stay enrolled will also be entered into a drawing for a chance to win an additional
$250 e-gift card at the end of each summer season!
