Get paid for saving energy with Alliant Energy® Peak Time Rewards

Enroll today

Earn rewards for the energy you save when demand for electricity is high in the summer.

How it works

  1. Enroll. Sign up by creating an account through FlexSaver, an easy-to-use platform powered by our partner Uplight. You’ll receive a $5 enrollment bonus.
  2. Get event notifications. When we schedule a Peak Time Rewards event, we'll notify you and give you tips to reduce your energy use.
  3. Reduce usage. Take steps to reduce your energy usage during the event. Your smart meter will automatically track your savings.
  4. Earn rewards. You’ll earn $1 per kilowatt-hour you save during the event compared to your normal usage. Once summer wraps up, you’ll get your rewards as a digital or physical Prepaid Mastercard — whichever you prefer.

Residential electric customers in Iowa are eligible to participate. Customers currently enrolled in Smart Hours are not eligible to join Peak Time Rewards.
