Ontario has introduced the Peak Performance program, a summer demand response offering aimed at commercial, multi-residential and public sector properties. Participants are paid to curtail electricity use — principally HVAC — during peak hours from June through September. First-time participants can receive up to $20 per kilowatt toward monitoring and control equipment, plus $54.84 per kilowatt of demonstrated consumption reduction during high-demand periods. Facilities must be able to curtail at least 500 kW, individually or across an aggregated portfolio.
