The electric company wanted to put something on my AC to turn it off
during a brownout. I asked for this, and they deducted something from
my electric bill in summer months, even if they never did it.

A few years back, I let my electric company install one of those A/C cut
out switches too. In exchange, they gave a modest monthly bill credit.
But by early summer, I told them to take it off.

They were vicious knocking my A/C offline for 30-45 minutes at a clip
even though the brochure said never more than for 8-10 minutes and then
only once each hour.

That's pretty bad. BGE had about the same rules and I don't think
they violated them.
