2024年11月26日 · ERCOT 4CP program calculations for prior years are located under Key Documents. View reports on the loads at the peak interval for each distribution service provider for the months of June through September.

Those participating in the 4CP program have the opportunity to maintain lower transmission cost of services charges on their electricity bills. How the program works is that if participants have the opportunity to voluntarily reduce their energy consumption on one day, during a specific period of time in June, July, August and September.

The 4CP electric bill charge is one of 11 charges on the electric bill. It is calculated based upon system demands coinciding with the ERCOT system peak demand during the months of June, July, August and September. For the last four years, ERCOT measured peak demand times on weekdays between 3:45 p.m. and 5 p.m.

2022年12月19日 · For the ERCOT market that comprises much of Texas, demand charges are captured in a tariff known as the Four Coincident Peak (4CP) program. On the Texas grid, demand typically peaks during the summer months in association with heat waves and air conditioning use that strain the electricity system.

Understanding 4CP is essential for businesses and large energy consumers in the ERCOT region, as it has a direct impact on their electricity costs. In this blog, we'll delve into what 4CP is, how it works, and its significance in the ERCOT market.

2024年8月14日 · ERCOT’s 4CP program is designed to manage the periods of highest electricity demand during the four summer months of June, July, August, and September. By pinpointing the peak demand interval each month, the 4CP program helps allocate capacity and transmission costs in a manner that incentivizes large consumers to reduce their electricity ...

2024年6月6日 · To calculate 4CP, ERCOT looks at the peak overall electricity demand on the grid during four, 15-minute intervals: one each across the summer months of June, July, August, and September. These four moments of peak demand — alongside TDSP transmission costs and wire charges — are used to calculate the 4CP demand charge for a given industrial ...

4CP is the name given to “Coincident Peak Demand Charges” in Texas. Electricity bills for commercial properties often include demand charges, some of which in Texas are based on what are called “coincident peaks,” or system-wide peaks, which occur when electricity demand reaches its highest level across a specific region or system.

What are 4CP charges? Every month your business is charged a fee—called a 4CP (coincidental peak) charge--based on how much electricity you consumed during a defined period in the pervious year when electricity demand on the grid was at its highest.

4 Coincident Peak (4CP) is a voluntary program that lets you significantly reduce charges from your transmission and distribution service provider next year by curtailing electricity usage during peak events this summer.
