What it does
In Ontario, a large part of a business’s electricity bill depends on its use during just five peak hours a year. This estimator shows what shaving those peaks would be worth, and it connects to my swarm intelligence battery simulation.
Who can use it
- Facility and energy managers
- Owners checking Class A eligibility
- Sustainability leads
Where it fits
- Ontario businesses on the Industrial Conservation Initiative or near its threshold
How to use it
- Enter your peak demand and annual use
- Enter how much load you could shed during peak hours
- Read the estimated saving and the payback on any equipment
Limitations
- Ontario only
- Uses published rates that change each year
- An estimate, not a quote
What's next
- Peak-hour alerts
- Link with the swarm-battery simulation
Run it on your own data
- In the browser (today)Free, no sign-up. What you enter stays on your device. Good for trying it and for small teams.
- On your files or databasePoint the same logic at your exports or a database view (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Azure SQL or DuckDB), on your own machine or network.
- As a pipeline and warehouseA scheduled ETL job pulls from your systems (reservations, point of sale, inventory, payroll) into a star-schema warehouse, runs data-quality checks, and the tool or a Power BI report reads the result every morning.
What that adds here
- Read meter data from your utility or building system to measure real peaks
How I'd set it up for you
I'd map your exports or database to the tool's model, package the job in a container that runs on your server or cloud account, add the checks your data needs, and hand over the code and a runbook. Your data stays on your systems. Get in touch if you'd like it fitted to your business.
