Thanks for taking part in the PeakBusters contest. Our 2009 contest is now over, but you can still be a PeakBuster by enrolling in your utility's peaksaver program and help to end to use of dirty coal fired electricity.
Welcome to the 3rd annual PeakBusters contest. Once again, we have lined up a great selection of prizes to reward your actions to reduce peak electricity use by installing a simple peakSaver device on your air conditioner or by taking other energy saving actions. Being a PeakBuster helps to improve the air we breathe by reducing the need for coal or gas-fired electricity generation on hot summer days when air quality is often at its worst. Take action now and you could win one of 24 gift certificates for Mountain Equipment Co-op gear, lululemon clothing, Future Shop electronics and appliances, or Indigo books and music.
Sign up your friends and get more chances to win!
This year, we want you to challenge your friends and families to become PeakBusters as well. For every person you convince to be a PeakBuster, you will get an additional chance to win one of our great prizes. Click here to send a personal e-card to everyone you know right now! Remind your friends that many utilities (including Toronto Hydro) will be introducing "time of use" pricing this summer, which will mean that their electricity costs will more than double in peak periods.
You can make a difference.
Help turn down the heat on global warming by cutting your peak power usage. If you have an air conditioner, enroll now in your utility’s peaksaver program. You’ll be making an important contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Ontario without breaking a sweat. Once you've done your part, be sure to fill out a contest entry and challenge your friends to take part as well to earn more chances to win!
> Did you know that on peak summer days, up to 40% of the electricity generated in Ontario is used just to run air conditioners?
Don't have air conditioning? You can still win!
