2. You Reduce Your Usage.
During the designated time, cut your electricity usage by adjusting your thermostat, turning off appliances, pool pumps and other household items, as well as taking these other steps. If your usage during these hours is lower than your average from the same time period over the previous five weekdays, we’ll give you a bill credit of up to $1.00 for every kilowatt-hour saved.
3. Cha-ching! Collect Your Bill Credit!
We’ll apply the credit of up to $1.00 for every kilowatt-hour you save during the designated time to your bill within the next three billing cycles. We’ll track everything; all you have to do is save.

To be eligible for the Ambit Energy Power Payback™ program, participants must have an active Smart Meter and be a Customer of Ambit Energy at the time of the credit posting. Ambit determines a participant's usage reduction by comparing actual kilowatt-hour reduction during a defined period of extreme electricity consumption to the average consumption during the same time period over the previous five weekdays. Usage reduction must be greater than or equal to one kilowatt-hour to receive a bill credit and credits will be posted within three billing cycles following the event.
