Fewer Curtailments, More Savings
Your capacity bill has a hidden variable. Here's how to control it.
Most industrial facilities in PJM pay whatever their capacity charges come out to — because they had no way to see the peaks coming. This paper explains how coincident peak prediction changes that.
- How just 5 hours a year set your capacity charges for the next 12 months
- Why voluntary peak avoidance is different from curtailment obligations
- What the right platform should give you — and what to watch out for
- Why grid conditions in PJM are making this more urgent every year

WHAT'S INSIDE
Six chapters. Everything you need to act.
Written for energy and operations professionals who want the substance — not just the pitch.
Chapter 01
How Capacity Charges Actually Work
A clear explanation of coincident peaks, how they’re calculated, and why a small number of hours have such an outsized impact on your annual electricity cost.
Chapter 02
Clearing Up the Confusion Around Curtailment
A straight comparison of curtailment-based demand response programs versus voluntary coincident peak avoidance — and why the distinction matters for your operations.
Chapter 03
Why the Grid Is Making This More Urgent
How data center growth and electrification across PJM are reshaping load patterns — and raising the stakes for facilities without peak visibility.
Chapter 04
How pTrack® Works
A detailed look at Edgecom’s peak prediction platform — from forecast methodology to hardware deployment to the fixed-cost pricing model that keeps savings in your pocket.
Chapter 05
Who Benefits Most
A practical profile of the facilities and roles that see the strongest ROI — along with guidance on timing and how to think about year-one expectations.
Chapter 06
Questions to Ask Any Provider
Five questions that separate capable platforms from basic alert tools — covering metering depth, pricing transparency, NITS support, and more.
Who it's for
If capacity charges are on your radar, this is for you.
This white paper is written for the people who own energy cost performance at industrial facilities in PJM — whether you’re tracking it closely or just starting to ask the right questions.
Energy Managers
You’re already tracking consumption. This gives you a tool to act on the hours that actually move the needle on cost.
Sustainability Leads
Reducing peak-hour load also reduces scope 2 emissions intensity — and this paper covers how that data gets captured.
Operations & Facility Managers
You decide what runs and when. This paper explains what voluntary peak avoidance actually asks of your team — and what it doesn’t.
Finance & Procurement
Capacity charges are a predictable cost centre. This paper shows how to model the savings case before committing to anything.
