As countries around the world start/continue their transitions to renewable energy while also electrifying different sectors, new technologies must step up to support these parallel revolutions. While it might not be the “silver bullet” solution, it is now clear that energy storage in various forms will be a crucial supportive technology - ensuring a successful and sustainable transition over the coming years and decades.

Power Factor Penalties on your hydro bill could be costing you thousands of dollars a month. A Power Conditioning device can eliminate these penalties and certain types of power interruptions.

With new technological developments occurring every day, it is essential to stay on top of trends to continue improving your business by integrating new and potentially industry-changing technologies. With this in mind, we've decided to provide a quick rundown of a topic that has become increasingly prevalent recently – the Network Operations Center or NOC.

As the GA cost pool is decreasing year over year, the decision to either opt-in to Class A or Class B needs to be more thought out. Decreasing GA cost pool means that the amount of potential savings is also reduced, so only customers who can hit all 5 peaks and curtail cheaply will reap the full benefit of being Class A.

Energy infrastructure is almost fully digitized, but how safe is it?

Everyone’s heard of coal, nuclear and hydroelectric plants but what about base load and peak load power plants? Power plants are not only categorized by the fuel or energy source they generate power from but also by which load they serve – either base load or peak load. In the following short blog post, we will briefly outline the differences between these two categorizations of power plant.

Back on October 27th, the Ontario Sustainable Energy Association (OSEA) hosted the 11th Annual Green Energy Doors Open™ (GEDO) event. Edgecom Energy was honoured to be named the winner of the energy storage category and have the opportunity to present our innovative battery energy storage solutions with the rest of the talented winners from across Ontario.

Edgecom's platform makes it easy to see our performance in real time and tweak our operations to optimize savings and our climate impact.

System-Backed Capacity Import Resources are one of the newer resource classes eligible to participate in the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO)'s Capacity Auction. This raises the question: What is a System-Backed Capacity Import Resource?

It’s 8:56 am on Monday. You get in your Tesla and after you press one button it pulls out of your garage. You put your coffee in the cup holder and join your 9am zoom meeting from your iPad. The car has your calendar preloaded and it knows your next meeting is at 10:30am, downtown at your clients office. You get to the office, the car drops you off at the front and goes to find a charger somewhere. You get in the elevator and are greeted by a virtual assistant who already knows where your meeting takes place, she sets the elevator to that floor. As you get to the right floor, OLED screens on the walls flash arrows to let you know where the meeting room is.

Connectivity in IoT is a critical issue and may require expensive recurring fees. Wi-fi, Bluetooth or wired Ethernet play an important role in providing the connectivity and exchange of data.

The IESO has embarked on a years-long journey to redesign the electricity market in Ontario through the Market Renewal Program. This redesign aims to deliver a more stable and reliable electricity supply at a better price for end-users. This program will create new opportunities for electricity generators and consumers.
