The Electricity Challenge for Manufacturing

Manufacturing operations above 50 kW of monthly peak demand are billed on commercial demand tariffs where the highest 15-minute interval of the month sets the demand charge for the entire month. A single unplanned equipment restart that spikes all motors simultaneously can add hundreds of dollars to that month's bill. Many manufacturers also run second and third shifts that benefit from time-of-use pricing structures unavailable on standard small-commercial rates.

Energy Strategy for Light Manufacturers

If your manufacturing load exceeds 50,000 kWh per month, request index-based pricing from your broker — at that scale, the savings opportunity justifies the pricing complexity. Implement a motor-staggered startup procedure to avoid simultaneous motor inrush current that creates artificial demand peaks; this alone can reduce demand charges by 10–20%. Ask your broker to model time-of-use versus flat-rate pricing based on your actual shift schedule — night-shift-heavy operations consistently come out ahead on TOU structures.
