Resideo Technologies and Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) announced a new partnership to expand BGE's Connected Rewards program, allowing more customers to play an important role in proactively balancing the grid by reducing the overall demand for electricity during periods of peak usage. Resideo and BGE will work together to predict, identify and proactively react to peak demand events and optimize energy use, all while maintaining customer comfort. Program participants can enroll their smart thermostats and receive financial incentives for both enrolling and remaining enrolled.

The partnership with Resideo will provide BGE with access to additional thermostats across central Maryland, enabling greater load distribution and peak demand reduction.
