Industrial & Manufacturing
Turn demand charges into a competitive advantage.
Industrial and manufacturing facilities typically carry the highest demand charges of any commercial customer class — often representing 30–50% of total utility spend. Coincident peak exposure, process load variability, and multi-shift operations create both significant risk and significant BTM opportunity.
30–50%
of utility spend in demand charges for industrial customers
Key Challenges
- Demand charges driven by short, unpredictable process spikes
- High coincident peak exposure in PJM/MISO capacity markets
- Large roof and ground areas suitable for solar but complex interconnection
- Critical process loads requiring resilience and backup power
BTM Solutions Applied
Battery Storage (BESS)
Demand charge shaving and coincident peak avoidance — the highest-ROI BTM application for industrial loads.
Commercial Solar PV
Large roof and ground-mount systems offset daytime process loads and reduce energy charges.
Load Management
Automated demand response and process scheduling to reduce peak exposure without disrupting production.
Microgrids & CHP
Combined heat and power for facilities with significant thermal loads; islanding capability for critical processes.
Across All Sectors
The same rigorous process. Applied to your specific load.
Regardless of sector, every PeakShift engagement begins with your actual interval load data — not industry averages or rule-of-thumb estimates. The BTM opportunity at your facility is determined by your load shape, your utility tariff, and your capacity market exposure. We model all three.
Interval Load Analysis
15-minute demand data processed to identify peak patterns, coincident peak exposure, and demand charge drivers.
Tariff Deconstruction
Full utility rate analysis: demand charges, energy charges, time-of-use periods, and ratchet clauses.
Capacity Market Mapping
ISO capacity auction exposure, demand response qualification, and BTM asset registration strategy.
