Case Study: Jackson EMC achieves 149% of enrollment goal with Uplight

Jackson EMC enrolls 8,000+ smart thermostats and reaches 149% of goal with Uplight

Jackson EMC, a member-owned cooperative in northeastern Georgia, faced rising power costs and needed to prepare for load growth. To address this challenge, they partnered with vendor Uplight to launch a smart thermostat demand response program.

Uplight implemented the Sync and Save program, building on the cooperative's prior marketplace success. The solution involved strategic program design with specific incentives and a pre-enrolled device offer, supported by targeted marketing channels. This approach resulted in Jackson EMC achieving 149% of its enrollment goal, enrolling over 8,000 smart thermostats in a single year. The program delivered significant load shed and high customer satisfaction results for the utility.
