Predicting peaks ERCOT’s 4CP program
The vast majority of hours in the Texas energy markets are unremarkable; low commodity prices, stable grid, plenty of generation in reserve and the Emergency Response Scheme (ERS) as a further back-up. But the ERCOT energy landscape is changing.

In this white paper we examine 4CP charges, a particular type of demand charge in the ERCOT market and how to best monetize flexibility for maximum gain/cost reduction.
