Being a large energy consumer in Ontario presents unique issues, particularly when dealing with monthly electricity consumption peaks. In a previous blog post, we explored the importance of several peak programs, including Coincident Peaks for the ICI Program. Today, weāll look at monthly peak programs and how they can affect your electricity bill.
Understanding Monthly Peaks
A typical industrial facility has a widely varying energy usage throughout a day. There are peaks and valleys of usage every day. If viewed on a month timeline, it is usually found that some periods of the month see considerably higher peaks than others. These peaks can last for only a few minutes and still account for 5 to 10 percent of your monthly electricity bill.
Identifying the Cause of Peaks
Focusing on a particular day, you might find a dramatic consumption increase. This could be explained by a change in shift, a motor startup, or a production-related event among other things. Effective energy management depends on the reason for these peaks being known.
