Help Central Hudson manage the power grid and get rewarded.

Growing use of electricity has begun to strain our power grid, particularly in areas of limited transmission capacity. Select customers in these specific energy-constrained areas can now become part of a solution to alleviate the high demand for electricity that occurs during times of peak demand when usage is at its highest. You can help minimize the need for costly upgrades to our power grid and enjoy substantial rewards for your help.
