Don't be surprised by your commodity costs
Since May of 2025, the Ontario electricity market has changed as part of the Market Renewal Program (MRP). Ontario electricity prices have always changed hour-by-hour, but they now are set the day before and include more cost components. The result is that commodity prices have risen significantly and it is now important for businesses to manage their real-time energy costs.
With our day ahead alerts, your business will know by 3pm what the hourly electricity price will be for tomorrow. You can then make operational decisions to shift electricity consumption away from expensive hours and towards cheaper hours. The market is still evolving, but this generally results in a difference of over $70/MWh when done effectively.
How does it work?
Get Notified
EnPowered will send you daily notifications no later than 3:30pm letting you know what the hourly electricity price will be for the following day.
Optimize
You can optimize your operations to shift consumption towards lower-cost hours, especially for very energy intensive pieces of equipment.
Save
Each month, you will see the savings as a reduction in the commodity line-item of your electricity bill.
Get customized notifications
Every business has their own unique operating requirements. Some are highly flexible and would be willing to shift their consumption every day to maximize savings, while others would only want to shift operations a few times per year to avoid the most expensive hours each year.
With EnPowered, we make sure to send customized notifications to each customer based on their unique requirements. You simply tell us what your price threshold is, and we will highlight all hours that show prices that exceed your threshold. We will work with your team to make sure that we set the correct threshold to maximize your savings while minimizing the disruption to your operations.
Optimize your flexible assets
While any business can benefit from day ahead alerts by shifting their most energy intensive pieces of equipment to cheaper hours, this solution is most effective for customers that have highly flexible assets such as building automation systems and batteries.
EnPowered offers the ability to directly connect your flexible assets to our price signals, allowing you to optimize your operations automatically. For highly flexible assets such as batteries, this allows businesses to arbitrage the difference between the cheapest hours and the most expensive hours of every day of the year.
Get hands-on support
We work closely with our customers to ensure they maximize their energy savings, customizing our notifications and solutions to suit their unique requirements.
By working closely with our team, we can make sure that you are capturing all of the savings available in the Ontario energy market.
