In modern grids, optimizing efficiency in electricity consumption and reducing strain on grid infrastructure has become crucial. During times of high demand […]

Over the past few weeks, the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) has issued an unusually high number of standby calls to participants in the Demand Response (DR) program. Although this might be frustrating for DR participants and has kept us all busy recently, there are good reasons to explain the recent increase in calls. This blog post will briefly outline why standby and activation calls are issued in normal circumstances and will explain the IESO’s recent increase in calls.

pTrack™ helped Dunn Paper's facility in St. Catherines increase their Global Adjustment savings.

Alert Labs' Partnership with Edgecom Energy provides turn-key flood detection and water monitoring.

The IESO has released the draft agreements for the new Energy Performance Program (EPP). This program is a new approach to energy savings which takes a look at the total building energy consumption instead of looking at specific equipment.

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.

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.

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.

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.

From farmers to Battery Systems for Energy Storage Supply Chains; every business has been affected by the pandemic in one way or another. The impact of this pandemic has reached every corner of our lives. Although many of the changes will be short term, the long term effects cannot be ignored.

This Webinar features ICI program basics, peak predictions using IESO, drivers of coincident peaks and much more ICI program insight.
