Peak LOAD PROGRAM

PEAK LOAD PROGRAM

WHAT ARE DEMAND CHARGES AND PEAK LOAD CHARGES

sustainable energy and cleaning solutions

Commercial & Industrial (C&I) customers pay electric bills that have two primary components: electricity energy charges (measured in kwhrs) and electricity demand charges (measured in KW).

PEAK LOAD CHARGES are based on the peak electricity usage of a customer during a period.

The “high water mark” for electricity usage sets the PEAK LOAD CHARGE for the following period.

PEAK LOAD CHARGES are billed on a $/kW basis. Like energy charges, A utility will look at the maximum demand of a customer during an interval, and will charge a $/kW rate for the following.

Both electricity energy and PEAK LOAD CHARGES are part of a facility’s electricity bill. Facilities that use varying amounts of electricity at sporadic, different periods of the day or months raise havoc with the electric utilities’ operation. These facilities are assessed PEAK LOAD CHARGES(penalties) as part of their normal monthly billing.

Up to 75% of a FACILITY’S electricity bill is determined by their PEAK LOAD.

We can reduce your PEAK LOAD. This will allow your facility to save a substantial amount of money.
This is different from Demand Response. You do not need to change your current Demand Response Company and Electricity Supply Company to benefit from this PEAK LOAD REDUCTION AND SAVINGS Program.

Hi Patrick, We did our first meter reading since the Line Loss Pro was installed. We are very consistent on the power we use as we are a 24/7/362 business. Motors always run and the lights are on. We are always looking for ways to cut energy costs. On the 208 volt meter prior to the install we used 26,700 kWh for a 7 day test period. After install 4/15/2015 of the LLG’s we used 19,800 kWh’s for the same amount of time. That is a difference of 25.8 % in consumption of power. For the same period last year 4/15/2014 we used 27,000kWh’s as the week after installation. On the 480 volt side we did a test run prior 7 days we used 9920kWh’s and after install4/15/2015 our big chillers ran for 3 days. So the after install meter reading was 10,000 kWh’s. Even though the chillers ran and we had an increase in usage it would be fair to say that there was a savings on the 480 Volt also of roughly 20+%. As time goes on we will be able to compare with readings form the same periods as last year when the chiller runs during the summer months. I will keep in touch and let you know how we do. I would like to thank you for reaching out to us here at Murray County Medical Center in Slayton and helping us to save energy in our business.
