4CP (Four Coincident Peak)

Four Coincident Peak refers to the four highest electricity demand events on the ERCOT grid during the summer months. Large commercial customers are charged transmission fees based on their electricity use during these four peak intervals.By reducing consumption during 4CP events, a business can significantly lower its Transmission Cost of Service charges for the entire following year. Solar and battery systems are valuable tools because they can automatically offset grid consumption during these peak moments.Managing 4CP effectively can save Texas businesses tens of thousands of dollars annually.
