You agreed to let the power company remotely control your thermostat.
That is not the default for these, but that's why you get them cheaper through incentives.
So, yes, chances are that when it's really hot out, more people will be using their AC and thus peak load will be easier to hit.
But heat also puts more stress on the grid just because components get overworked and become less efficient the warmer they are.
However, there is a workaround. If you take the Nest offline, they won't be able to control it and you'll stay enrolled in Renew.
Just don't do this too often, as there's a monthly requirement for availability. They'll kick you out of the program, blacklist the device from being Renew eligible, and charge you for the thermostat.

*shakes fist*
I installed mine with two wires system. To address this, one would simply need a 24volt transformer wired into the electrica for the additional two other wires to power on the nest thermostat.
I had both and really disliked ecobee and it wouldn't regulate temp even with the sensors. App was not great either

So is $189.99 without any program a good price or should I wait for it to come down further?
$169.00 for free several months ago... Keep WA green, and blue!
Wish I needed and EV charger, $599 for one buck. I'm aiming to get an E-TRIKE somehow soon.
