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.

Blockchain helps make the energy sector more environmentally sustainable. It also overcomes legacy energy sector efficiency issues and provides a network where it is possible to produce, store, and distribute energy more efficiently.

There is no one size fits all solution when it comes to the ICI program. Any company selling a ‘one size fits all’ approach is not realizing the full potential of the DER solution and is leaving money on the table.

Recently the IESO made 2 predictions regarding COVID 19’s impact on the ICI Program. Read this blog to find out why we disagree.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has many useful applications in many different industries, and the energy industry is no exception. As technology advances, IoT has the potential to redefine and transform the industry, providing new revenue streams and shifting business models.

The Industrial Conservation Initiative (ICI) allows large industrial consumers to reduce their electricity costs by reducing their Peak Demand Factor on Top 5 peak days. Since 2011, this program has allowed consumers to remain competitive in Ontario, while helping maintain the grid’s reliability.

It is incredibly important to make sure your IoT solutions are secure. Having an unsecure network will not only lead to losses, but might put your company and its employees’ security at risk. Read on to learn how we secure our IoT solution, IoTrack!

Demand response (DR) allows consumers across Ontario to earn revenue from the IESO while reducing their emissions and helping the Ontario grid during times of stress, to participate, all consumers need to do is be available to curtail their load (reduce their demand) during short periods throughout the year. Edgecom Energy’s deep knowledge of the IESO market, combined with our hands-on experience with energy management practices makes us the trusted Energy Management partner for some of Ontario’s most recognized names.

The ICI Program went on a hiatus in June 2020 to help industrial companies focus on production. The program will return in May 2021 so Class A facilities will need to ensure they have the plans and policies in place to manage Coincident Peaks once again.
