Problem
During peak summer months, air conditioning usage strains the local electricity grid, leading to higher emissions, potential outages, and increased energy costs for residents. Many New Yorkers lack access to tools that let them reduce their grid impact without sacrificing comfort or dealing with complex installation processes.
Solution
Every Electric provides free plug-in powerbanks that automatically manage how A/C units draw electricity, shifting usage to off-peak times and reducing strain on the neighborhood grid. Residents simply plug their A/C into the device, and the powerbank runs automatically to optimize energy consumption while keeping cooling performance unchanged. The program rewards participants with cash for their contribution to grid stability, with households earning an average of $200 per year. The system is designed to be renter-friendly, requiring no installation and moving easily with users. Beyond savings, the powerbanks provide backup power during outages and help lower local emissions for the broader community.
