Frequently asked questions

Ready, Set, Relax is a free energy management tool that can help reduce electricity usage during periods of high electricity demand. Once you enroll and your smart thermostat is connected to the program, your thermostat will automatically adjust during a Ready, Set, Relax event to help lower your electricity usage.

Events can be called at any time during the year. They will last no longer than 4 hours, and your thermostat will be adjusted by no more than 4 degrees. Rest assured—you’re always in control. You can opt out of an event at any time by changing the temperature on your thermostat.

A Ready, Set, Relax event is an instance where participating thermostats will be remotely adjusted by no more than 4 degrees to help reduce electricity usage and then return to their original settings after the event is over. Events can be called year-round and may last for up to 4 hours. Rest assured, you’re always in control and can opt out at any time by changing the temperature on your thermostat.

Ready, Set, Relax events can be called at any time of the year. There can also be more than one Ready, Set, Relax event per day. Events are more likely to happen during the summer and winter months, when electricity demand is typically higher.

If there is an ERCOT-issued energy emergency event, Green Mountain Energy may need to call a critical Ready, Set, Relax event, which may occur at any time of day.

Depending on your smart thermostat, notifications may appear on the smart thermostat display or in its mobile app when a Ready, Set, Relax event is in progress.

You can override the modified temperatures at any point by changing the temperature directly on your smart thermostat or in its app.

No, your electricity plan will remain unchanged. Additionally, you can cancel your enrollment in the Ready, Set, Relax program at any time, and there is no early termination fee.
