Energy Management PJM
Win the 5CP Game in PJM's High-Stakes Energy Market
Energy Market
Built for PJM's
Capacity-Driven Market
PJM is the largest wholesale electricity market in North America, serving over 65 million people across 13 states and D.C. But size doesn’t mean simple. PJM’s capacity market is driven by a single brutal mechanism: the Five Coincident Peaks (5CP). Miss those five hours during summer, and your facility’s capacity charges skyrocket for the entire next year.
Industrial and commercial facilities are seeing capacity charges surge from ~$10,560/MW-year in 2024/2025 to a projected $120,147/MW-year for 2026/2027 — a 10x increase. Data center growth, manufacturing onshoring, and asset electrification are pushing PJM demand to record highs. The stakes have never been higher.

FAQ
PJM Energy Market FAQ
The 5CP (Five Coincident Peaks) is the mechanism PJM uses to determine your share of capacity costs. Your facility’s demand during the five highest-demand hours on the PJM grid each summer sets your Peak Load Contribution (PLC), which drives your capacity charges for the entire next year. Capacity prices have surged from ~$10,560/MW-year in 2024/2025 to a projected $120,147/MW-year for 2026/2027. Missing even one peak can cost a facility tens of thousands of dollars extra per year.
Because the 5CP is genuinely hard. Throughout the summer, the PJM grid experiences hundreds of ‘mini-peaks’ that look like they could be record-breakers. Without predictive tools built specifically for PJM, facilities end up curtailing operations dozens of times unnecessarily — and often still miss the real peaks. Generic energy tools just aren’t built for this.
pTrack® uses AI algorithms trained specifically on PJM market data, weather patterns, and historical demand behavior. It achieves a 99% peak prediction success rate, delivering 12-day outlooks, day-before standby notices, and day-of alerts with curtailment windows. The model gets better over time as it learns from each season.
Yes. Our platform is built to work with PJM data feeds and protocols. Whether you’re managing a single industrial facility or a portfolio of sites, we connect seamlessly to the data you need without workarounds.
Not at all. pTrack® and dataTrack™ are valuable for any facility paying capacity charges in PJM — commercial buildings, manufacturers, food processors, cold storage, data centers, and more. If 5CP charges show up on your bill, we can help.
Most clients are up and running within 4–8 weeks. We work with your team to ensure smooth integration that doesn’t disrupt day-to-day operations.
Full onboarding, training, and ongoing support from people who actually understand PJM’s market. We’re here year-round — not just during peak season.
NeuraCharge™ is Edgecom’s AI-driven vertical Energy Management System for facilities that own or operate Distributed Energy Resources — battery storage (BESS), solar (PV), generators, or controllable loads. If you have assets that can charge, discharge, or respond to grid signals, NeuraCharge™ automates and optimizes how they participate in PJM’s capacity, energy, and ancillary service markets.
NeuraCharge™ integrates directly with pTrack®’s peak predictions and PJM live market data. When a 5CP peak window is approaching, it automatically dispatches your BESS to curtail load, reducing your facility’s Peak Load Contribution. This means lower capacity charges for the entire following year — executed automatically, without manual intervention.
Edgecom’s Toronto-based Network Operations Center monitors your DER assets around the clock. The NOC team provides rapid identification and escalation of system abnormalities, continuous tracking of key performance indicators, immediate activation of emergency protocols, and verification of automated safety interlocks. Your assets are covered whether it’s 2 PM or 2 AM.
dataTrack™ gives you real-time visibility into your facility’s energy consumption, helping you understand your load profile, identify demand spikes, and optimize when and how you use energy. That visibility directly supports 5CP management and makes demand response participation far more effective.
