About 200,000 people, in Portland, had their AC turned off remotely, after signing up for a similar program.  And once signed up, the utility companies can control your electrical use and impose penalties if you exceed the usage of the plan chosen. 

Dear Valued Customer,

2.    Why Enroll?

• Potential Cost Savings: Take advantage of lower rates during off-peak periods.
