Take control of your demand-based costs
AEP Energy’s PeakAdvisory® Service helps manage and reduce your demand-based costs, such as capacity and transmission. This complimentary service has saved customers millions of dollars in demand-based costs since 2016.
Understanding Demand-Based Costs
Your demand is measured as how much energy you are using when system demand is at its highest, which happens only a few hours a year. This value is used to determine your demand-based costs. By lowering your demand, you lower your costs, no matter what the market rate is.
How Much Could You Save
Capacity and transmission demand-based costs account for 20 to 40 percent of your total electricity costs. By taking control of your demand-based costs, you can realize significant annual savings without big changes in your daily operations or equipment.
These costs are estimated and for illustrative purposes only, and will differ depending on customer’s load factor.
