Energy efficiency tip: Reduce peak demand of energy

When it comes to energy usage, businesses need to be proactive to avoid high costs and penalties. Peak demand is often the biggest contributor to high energy bills, as businesses are charged higher rates for periods of high-power usage. Reducing peak demand should be a top priority for businesses, as it can help to lower Transmission Network (Triad) costs during winter. Triad costs can make up as much as 40% of a business' energy bills. Load shedding is a process whereby businesses can avoid high costs associated with peak demand by taking remedial action to reduce energy consumption. It is an extremely effective way for businesses to control their energy costs and avoid the financial impact of high energy bills.

Businesses can take positive actions such as scheduling energy-intensive activities for off-peak hours. Businesses can conduct a variety of energy-efficiency measures, such as ensuring the HVAC system is running optimally and using efficient lighting systems. Businesses should also carry out maintenance activities such as repairs and maintenance on machines to ensure that machinery is operating efficiently and not contributing to peak consumption. All businesses should ensure that they have a strategy for eradicating waste and conserving energy to reduce peak consumption and improve energy efficiency. By using an?alert system?that provides real-time alerts when peak energy usage is reached, businesses can take immediate action to reduce energy consumption and waste.?
