Get Paid to Save Energy with OhmConnect Energy
Companies like OhmConnect Energy play an important role in keeping the lights on in Texas. When the Texas grid operator, ERCOT, expects high electricity usage, they call on resources that can help reduce demand for power.
During periods of high demand, OhmConnect Energy acts as one of those resources. They give customers the opportunity to reduce their energy usage and help reduce stress on the grid. The power saved is then “sold” back to the grid, and the rewards are passed on to their customers.
The grid stays balanced, the lights stay on, and customers get paid. That’s a smarter way to consume energy.
How Does OhmConnect Work in Texas?
OhmConnect pays consumers to conserve energy. When you sign up for electricity with them, you’ll get a fixed rate electricity plan for your home. Then, you’ll get notified via text, email or their app when it’s time to conserve electricity. And you’ll get rewarded when you do that.
Here’s the step by step of how their offer works in Texas:
- Sign up: When you’re enrolled on a fixed-rate electricity plan with them, you’ll gain access to their rewards program and energy savings events called OhmHours.
- Get notified: ERCOT lets them know when a period of high demand is coming up. Then they will notify you about it via email or text message.
- Reduce: Conserve energy use by powering down energy-sucking appliances, adjusting your thermostat or saving your laundry loads for another time.
- Get Rewarded: You’ll earn “Watts” for reducing your energy usage during an OhmConnect Energy savings event. Watts can be redeemed for cash or prizes or applied to your bill. The more you participate the more you’ll earn!

Frequently Asked Questions About OhmConnect Energy in Texas
How much money you can make depends on the size of your home and how well you save energy. The key to earning consistent rewards is to use connected devices, such as smart thermostats and smart plugs. OhmConnect says that customers who use a smart thermostat or two smart plugs are the ones who earn the most each month.
You can make money with OhmConnect two ways. First, Texas customers who participate in energy savings events can lower their electric bill by 10-15% or more. But the savings potential is unlimited. Second, the more you reduce your usage during an OhmConnect energy savings event, the more cash rewards in your pocket.
No, OhmConnect does not control your thermostat.
As an OhmConnect member, you can participate in energy reduction events called OhmHours. You’ll get 24 hours notice of an OhmHour event. Don’t want to participate? You don’t have to.
OhmConnect makes it easy to automate your participation in OhmsHours, which is probably why some people think they control your thermostat. You can connect your smart devices in the Ohm App, and turn on AutoOhms. Your devices will automatically turn off (or adjust the thermostat) during an energy savings event. Devices turn back on (or go back to their original setting) when the energy event is over.
No matter how you set up your smart devices, you can always opt-out of an OhmHour power reduction event. You are always in control with OhmConnect.
With OhmConnect Energy, you are always in control of your own energy usage! To opt out, just click the “Opt in” or “Opt out” option on your preferred notification, (SMS, email, or app.) If you are automatically enrolled to opt in, they will still send you the option to opt out.
OhmConnect is worth it if you want to do your part to help the Texas grid. You’ll get paid to reduce your electricity usage when needed. This helps to maintain the reliability of the Texas electricity grid.
In Texas, we rely on the Texas power grids for our energy. The grids are, in general, a reliable source of energy. But as we’ve all experienced, when demand spikes, the grid can get overwhelmed and fail.
That’s why OhmConnect Energy has been formed. By taking action and actively reducing energy usage during spikes, OhmConnect Energy will reward you for saving energy and helping to maintain the grid: a simple, rewarding, and effective solution to energy sustainability.
