Reduce your facility’s Global Adjustment costs

ÃÜÌÒÖ±²¥ works with Class A facilities to help reduce Global Adjustment costs and scope 2 emissions. Our customers receive the benefit of our industry-leading +90% accuracy in forecasting grid events. Whether it’s through battery energy storage systems or manual curtailment, we’ve been able to deliver $160K per megawatt in average annual customer value.

Global Adjustment in Ontario

The Ontario Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) applies charges to large business customers for their consumption during electricity demand spikes. These are called Global Adjustment charges and are based on your energy use during the 5 hours of the previous year with the most intensive energy demand (peak demand).

A low-emissions grid with hydro and nuclear power makes up a majority of the energy we use throughout the year. This has a direct correlation to Scope 2 emissions. When electricity demand spikes, like during the hottest days of summer, the IESO calls on higher-emitting generation sources like coal and natural gas plants to match supply with demand.

Global Adjustment costs are meant to provide an incentive to large commercial and industrial buildings to reduce their electric loads during these periods of peak demand. In May 2025, Ontario launched the Market Renewal Program, and while this is a major shift in the market, Global Adjustment is and will continue to be the primary cost on Class A Facilities, and will remain the largest opportunity for energy cost reduction. 

The challenge for energy and facility managers is identifying the exact time to reduce energy or dispatch a distributed energy resource like battery storage. That’s where ÃÜÌÒÖ±²¥â€™s forecasting abilities come in. We take the guesswork out of manual curtailment with our GridPredict notifications. For a fully automated solution that earns even bigger savings, we provide a no-cost, end-to-end battery energy storage solution.

Are you taking full advantage of energy incentives in Ontario?

There’s a vast network of financial incentives to power the shift to Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), but these incentives can be hard to navigate and complex to understand.

With the right strategies, commercial and industrial players can unlock profitability, tap into multiple value streams and incentives, and make progress toward net zero.

Reducing Global Adjustment Costs

Starlight’s building is connected to the Islington Subway station (part of the Toronto Transit Commission public transit network). This state-of-the-art Class A office building hosts tenants like the Ministry of Education and Moneris.

The building owners looked for solutions to reduce demand charges (Global Adjustment) and turned to ÃÜÌÒÖ±²¥ for guidance. We installed a 500 KW system to help slash demand charges by 25%.
