Energy Wise Rewards

Bill Credits

After your Energy Wise Rewards device is installed, you’ll receive two credits.

Your Installation Credit is a one-time bill credit that appears within two billing cycles. Annual Reward Credits are paid to you each summer that you participate in the program. You will receive Annual Reward Credits for each device installed as a line-item savings on your monthly bills from June through October.

For example, if you signed up for 50% cycling and your selected device was installed before you were billed in June, you would receive your $30 Installation Credit as a credit off your June or July bill, plus $6 per month in Annual Reward Credits beginning with the same June or July bill and continuing through October.

The credits per installed device are noted in the table below:

EmPOWER Maryland programs are funded by a charge on your energy bill. EmPOWER programs can help you reduce your energy consumption and save you money. To learn more about EmPOWER and how you can participate, click here.

The EmPOWER Maryland charge funds programs that can help you reduce your energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and save you money. Since the inception of the EmPOWER Maryland program in 2008, the programs have saved $14.5 billion on installed measures at a cost of $4.1 billion. In addition to new program costs, this charge includes paying off the uncollected costs that were accrued over time by programs required by the EmPOWER statute and authorized by the Commission. In accordance with House Bill 864 the uncollected amounts will be fully paid by the end of 2032.
