In-depth guides on demand charges, peak shaving, battery storage and incentives, written for commercial and industrial facility decision-makers.
Everything a commercial or industrial account holder needs to work out whether demand charges are driving their bill, and what actually fixes it.
What a demand charge actually measures, which distributors apply it, and the three different figures that can become your billing demand.
Read More →Billing demand, contracted demand, highest metered demand, ratchet clauses, kVA charges and power factor penalties, defined in plain language.
Read More →Three strategies routinely treated as one. What triggers each, what each optimises for, and which line on the bill each one moves.
Read More →Four levers that actually lower this line, in the order worth trying them. Cutting consumption is not one of them.
Read More →When consumption did not change but the invoice did, the cause is usually on the delivery side. The four usual suspects.
Read More →System usage against highest metered demand, capacity charges against contracted demand, the 3 kW minimum and ratchet provisions.
Read More →Why the highest-of-criteria structure concentrates more risk in a single bad interval, and what the 5 kW minimum means.
Read More →Not for small business customers. When the exemption applies, and when interval-metered industrial accounts are still exposed.
Read More →Demand charges were 43.7% of the annual bill. A 15 kW / 30 kWh battery cut the demand line by 20% and paid back its net cost in under a year.
