Unlock significant savings by avoiding the Top 5 Peak Hours
For over 10 years, large businesses in Ontario have had the opportunity to significantly reduce their Global Adjustment costs by reducing usage during the Top 5 Peak Hours each year as part of the Industrial Conservation Initiative (ICI).
This program reduces peak summer electricity loads by over 2,000MW each year. This saves Ontario billions of dollars in reduced capacity costs, and in return participating large businesses save up to 50% of their electricity costs each year.
How does it work?
Qualify
Have an average of 500KW peak demand per month from May-April the previous year to qualify.
Respond
EnPowered will notify you when the Top 5 Peak Hours each year occur, and you must reduce your usage during these hours.
Save
You will start to see savings in your July electricity bill the following year (with a reduction in your Global Adjustment line-item).
Get customized notifications
Every business has their own unique curtailment capabilities. Some can curtail usage for 5+ hours, others can only curtail for 1 hour at a time. Some are willing to respond 20+ times per year, others only 2 times per year.
