What is the Allocated Quantity of Energy Withdrawn (AQEW)?
AQEW stands for Allocated Quantity of Energy Withdrawn. AQEW is the total energy withdrawn directly from the IESO grid and it does not include embedded generation or energy storage injections. The Coincident Peaks in Ontario are ranked based on AQEW, not Ontario Demand, but the Peak Demand Factor is calculated using Ontario Demand.
What is Peak Demand Factor (PDF)?
Ontario’s ICI program allows Class A participants to reduce their global adjustment costs by curtailing electrical demand during the potential top five coincident peaks of the ICI program. Learn how your Peak Demand Factor is used to determine your portion of global adjustment costs and what you can do to reduce it.
What is the Global Adjustment Charge?
Reduce your Global Adjustment (GA) costs by understanding how GA and ICI work.
