Businesses in Ontario face some of the highest electricity costs in North America, primarily due to the Global Adjustment (GA) charge, which energy providers pass onto customers’ electricity bills to cover their costs of generating capacity and conservation programs. GA charges have risen in recent years and are now the largest item on most Ontario customers’ electricity bills—up to 70% for some customers.

To maximize potential savings, Calibrant worked with Algoma Orchards to select, finance, and install an energy storage system that could further reduce the company’s grid demand while still powering key equipment in its facilities. The system consists of 520 kW/1,040 kWh of capacity in Tesla lithium-ion batteries and is equipped with Calibrant's optimization software. For Algoma Orchards, the system automatically charges the battery system when electricity prices are the lowest on the market and then seamlessly transitions the building’s load onto the battery system when system peak events are most likely—as well as when the sites are called upon to curtail load as part of DR programs.
