That is some black mirror level stuff. Just a room full of people slaving away peddling, so someone else can mindlessly turn on lights and god help the cyclers if they are someone who leaves all their lights on.

I dont think they explicitly said it but it was pretty clear from context that the cycling was how you earned merits.
