Historically IESO data has worked out well. For the past 10 years, proactive Class A customers have been able to hit all 5 coincident peaks with 10-14 curtailments. Depending on your definition of curtailments and how much time you need to react, 14 curtailments a year to save up-to 40% on your hydro bill is a worthwhile endeavor.

pTrack™ helped Dunn Paper's facility in St. Catherines increase their Global Adjustment savings.

As the first quarter of the year is wrapping up, peak season is getting closer. Here’s a sneak peek into what we’ve […]

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.

With the increased number of ICI participants and embedded energy resources like generators and battery storage coming onto the grid, predicting the top 5 coincident peak hours is increasingly difficult. Read on to learn why AI is a necessity for predicting the Top 5 Peaks.

Alert Labs' Partnership with Edgecom Energy provides turn-key flood detection and water monitoring.

The solution provided ride-through for voltage sags which reduced the number of power interruptions.

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.

The IESO has released the draft agreements for the new Energy Performance Program (EPP). This program is a new approach to energy savings which takes a look at the total building energy consumption instead of looking at specific equipment.

Like many large energy users in Ontario, Promenade Mall was entirely unaware of the potential advantages of programs like the Industrial Conservation Initiative (ICI), Demand Response (DR) and other programs that allow you to benefit off energy efficiency. Edgecom Energy stepped in to offer their specialized energy management services tailored to help facilities with large and complex energy use profiles.

Edgecom Energy is an Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) market participant that acts as a capacity aggregator for participation in the Capacity Market. Aggregators simplify participating in the Capacity Auction for their customers and reduce the number of moving parts the IESO has to deal with on their end.

Demand Response (DR) programs are used by many system operators to improve grid reliability. Unfortunately, most of the available literature will give you very technical and complex answers when describing DR. This blog post aims to explain DR in digestible and straightforward terms.
