PART 2: Peak Shaving

How Does Peak Shaving Work?

The two charges that can significantly affect the rate at which industrial and commercial users pay for electricity include demand charges and consumption charges during on-peak intervals.

Peak shaving is a strategy for mitigating demand charges and usage during peak times, thus it requires altering the operation of an application or implementing storage capabilities to store energy for later use.

Peak Shaving Strategies & Implementation

To implement an effective peak shaving strategy, businesses should consider the following best practices:

Conduct An Energy Audit
Invest In Energy Storage
Utilize On-Site Generation
Monitor And Control Energy Use
