PeakSaver

On extremely hot days, our use of appliances such as air-conditioning goes up, increasing our electricity use and putting added pressure on the electricity network. 

That’s why we’ve teamed up with Endeavour Energy and are inviting residents living within the suburbs of Glenmore Park, Jamisontown, Penrith, South Penrith and Kingswood to take part in PeakSaver. 

PeakSaver is one of Endeavour Energy’s PowerSavers initiatives that will assist you to save energy in your own household and help reduce the peak demand in the Penrith community all whilst earning rewards. 

As a PeakSaver member, you will earn points for taking part in challenges to reduce your energy use on selected ‘Event Days’ during the peak demand times between 1 November 2020 and 31 March 2021. Once you have earned enough points, these can be redeemed for a gift card or a charity donation. 

To become a PeakSaver, download the free PowerSavers app for iPhone or Android, or sign up online at: app.endeavourenergy.com.au/peak 

*To be eligible to participate in PeakSaver you must have a smart meter installed.
