Take control of Global Adjustment costs with Global Adjustment Peak Predictor
Global Adjustment (GA) plays a major role in electricity pricing in Ontario, and it can significantly impact your business’s bottom line. Discover GAPP, Enel’s proactive solution designed to help businesses anticipate peak events, optimize energy usage, and reduce GA expenses.
GA represents a component designed to cover the costs associated with generating electricity and maintaining a reliable and sustainable electricity supply in Ontario. GA covers costs for building new electricity infrastructure, maintaining current generation resources, and conservation programs – ensuring the province has an adequate, long-term electricity supply.
Businesses participating in the Industrial Conservation Initiative (ICI) are charged a GA rate based on their electricity usage during Ontario’s top five peak demand hours. By strategically reducing consumption during ICI peaks, businesses can significantly lower their GA costs. That’s where Enel’s solution, GAPP, comes into play.
