Your utility: Thunder Bay Hydro
Thunder Bay Hydro does not currently advertise a smart thermostat demand-response incentive. As with the Sault, Thunder Bay's long heating season means the real value of any of these thermostats comes from winter scheduling rather than a summer peak-shaving bonus that isn't on offer here. For more, see the City of Thunder Bay EarthCare Sustainability Plan. Thunder Bay Hydro.
