Reduce your home’s energy use and earn rewards

Connect a smart device, sit back and earn ongoing rewards.

For each eligible smart device you enroll in Smart Hours, you’ll earn a $50 sign-up bonus plus $25 at the end of each heating or cooling season you participate. Smart Hours events take place when energy demand in your community peaks. During an event, we’ll automatically reduce your device’s energy use. We’ll give you a heads-up beforehand and you can opt out anytime. You can enroll a smart thermostat, an Aquanta water heater controller and an electric vehicle or EV charger.

Once you connect your device, we’ll handle the rest with no effort on your part. You can just relax, earn rewards and help flatten the curve when energy demand spikes.

Sign up, save energy and get paid.

Join Alliant Energy® Peak Time Rewards and receive a $5 enrollment bonus plus additional incentives for reducing your energy use during Peak Time Rewards events in the summer. During periods of high energy demand, we’ll notify you to reduce your energy use. We’ll help you get started with energy-saving tips and ideas. We’ll pay you for the energy you save during each Peak Time Rewards event. 

There is no need to connect a device. Your smart meter will automatically track your savings.
