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.

Georgia power here btw
I currently mostly use HomeKit. I have some Google devices (Nest Protect, RIP) but I have a Starling Hub/bridge that brings them over. But one annoying thing is the Nest is also seen as (another) TV device. Another thing I researched is the Nest 4th Gen must use Google Home app, no Nest app nor webpage.

I can't get to those deals from the MasSave website, so it's kind of concerning.
