What happened on July 19th, 2019?
Missed a Peak on July 19th, 2019? We didn’t. pTrack™ was able to accurately predict the peak by taking into consideration reaction to IESO data. Consumers who relied solely on IESO estimates would have missed the peak day since the peak hour was inaccurately projected by the IESO peak tracker.
Energy Performance Program – The new and easy way to receive incentives for energy savings
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.
Promenade Mall Success Story
Like many large energy users in Ontario, Promenade Mall was entirely unaware of the potential advantages of programs like the Industrial Conservation Initiative (ICI), Demand Response (DR) and other programs that allow you to benefit off energy efficiency. Edgecom Energy stepped in to offer their specialized energy management services tailored to help facilities with large and complex energy use profiles.
What is a Demand Response (DR) Aggregator?
Edgecom Energy is an Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) market participant that acts as a capacity aggregator for participation in the Capacity Market. Aggregators simplify participating in the Capacity Auction for their customers and reduce the number of moving parts the IESO has to deal with on their end.
Energy Storage Use Cases
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.

What is a good Net Zero Target?
With the United Nations’ COP26 event in full swing, climate change and the term net-zero have become increasingly popular terms in global headlines. Building on this recent momentum, we thought it would be diligent to share some guidelines and best practices for how to create and structure net-zero targets. In the following blog post, we will outline what makes a good net-zero target to allow you to better understand and judge the commitments that governments around the world have been making before and during the COP proceedings:
GA Cost Pools: Does it Make Sense to Opt-in as a Class A Customer?
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.
