Reduce downtime, increase confidence, and save more on Global Adjustment costs.
Ontario’s largest power consumers rely on NRG Peaks to accurately identify the risk of ICI peak hours.
Over ten years of peak advisory experience have earned us an unparalleled record and positioned us as the largest provider of curtailment services in Ontario.
We pair modern machine learning techniques with Ontario energy market experts to deliver you the most accurate information.
Our dashboard, tools and features are state-of-the-art and built with the input of our customers who are some of Ontario’s leading energy managers.
Our on-boarding process involves enabling data features for each of your facilities, registering dashboard and notification users, and hosting a training session for your team on the ICI program, features within our service, and other important information.
Gain access to webinar sessions held ahead of summer and winter peak seasons. Learn about program rule changes, market changes, feature updates and expectations for the season ahead.
Notifications of upcoming periods of risk will be communicated by email, including day-ahead reports. Peak alerts are issued the morning of and may be adjusted as conditions shift throughout the day. Delivery of Peak Alerts occurs in the dashboard and by email, SMS, and API. Your facilities demand data can be made visible and overlaid onto the dashboard.
Your facility’s performance relative to the five peaks and other days where alerts occurred are woven into a report analysis and communicated with other members of your team.
This includes the amount of power your facility curtailed and the expected saving you will have locked-in for the coming year.
Not all loads are equally flexible or have the same lost cost to power down. We offer three alert types tracked to different probabilities of hitting all five peaks, balancing the number of alerts and number of hours called with accurate advanced notification. This methodology allows you to customize your approach.
Identify the duration of your energy storage system, and we’ll identify the highest probability hours for which to discharge your systems. With limited energy duration, accuracy is paramount, while advanced notice and the number of overall alerts can be less critical.
With fewer constraints around energy duration, our generator alert allows for more generous coverage of boundary risk days and hours while layering in considerations for energy pricing.
As an ICI participant, energy users can achieve large cost savings by reducing their demand at the same time as the provincial peaks. Understanding when these peaks will occur and taking appropriate action are the keys to enabling this significant saving opportunity. NRG Peaks has been reliably and successfully helping many of Ontario’s largest energy users achieve this since 2010.
