We do the work for you - you won’t be asked to take any action during these dispatches. Your system will be helping to reduce strain on the electric grid and helping to establish a more reliable grid for your community. You won’t notice a change in your home comfort or reliability.

    After you have completed these simple steps, we’ll take it from there! Your Lumin Smart Panel will automatically start responding when the grid is under stress.
