In modern grids, optimizing efficiency in electricity consumption and reducing strain on grid infrastructure has become crucial. During times of high demand […]

We get this question a lot, is Demand Response similar to ICI? These two programs are similar in that they both involve […]

Recently the IESO made 2 predictions regarding COVID 19's impact on the ICI Program. Read this blog to find out why we disagree.

Have you noticed how much easier it is to buy something that you will pay off in a month- vs taking out all the funds from your checking account right now? It's the reason companies like Affirm are all over e-commerce these days. All those buy-now-pay-later commercials on TV work. Energy bills have the same effect. In most cases electricity and natural gas are charged on a monthly basis - this adds yet another level of dissonance between the energy used and the direct hit to the bottom line.

Over the past few weeks, the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) has issued an unusually high number of standby calls to participants in the Demand Response (DR) program. Although this might be frustrating for DR participants and has kept us all busy recently, there are good reasons to explain the recent increase in calls. This blog post will briefly outline why standby and activation calls are issued in normal circumstances and will explain the IESO’s recent increase in calls.

Ontario’s ICI Global Adjustment Consultation – what changes are coming to Global Adjustment billing? In the spring of 2019, to fulfill their […]

There is no one size fits all solution when it comes to the ICI program. Any company selling a ‘one size fits all’ approach is not realizing the full potential of the DER solution and is leaving money on the table.

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.

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.
