The bad news is electricity costs are expected to increase in the years ahead. The good news is data centers, crypto mines, and large commercial and industrial (C&I) customers can cut those costs by proactively managing when you consume the most power.

To get started, you need accurate forecasts of when the grid will experience peak demand.

Manage energy cost for C&I customers

Data centers

Know in advance when the price of electricity in your region will spike and when Coincident Peak Events will occur.

Large C&I customers

Shift non-essential or energy-intensive operations to avoid the times of day when demand will peak across the power grid.

Strategic market professionals trust Amperon

“As we build more plants across other parts of the U.S. where rates are subject to coincident peak programs, we plan to leverage the same [Amperon] forecasting capabilities to avoid similar charges.”

Success stories

Summer 2025 Heat Wave - PJM
Event:
90+° temps swept across the East Coast in June causing the highest summer demand in 10 years.
Challenge
The ISO was late in detecting demand would spike above 160 GW due to the excessive heat and AC usage.
Amperon result
Amperon forecasted demand to be near 160 GW a full seven days out. Our Day-Ahead accuracy was under .5% for the peak hours of the two highest-demand days.
Impact
Real-time prices soared past $3,000/MWh. Traders using Amperon had a full week to capitalize on price movement before the rest of the market caught on.
The Emerging Duck Curve - ERCOT
Event:
For regions like ERCOT with substantial amounts of solar, the emerging duck-curve of daily net demand creates a unique risk of power shortages in the early evening as people return home from work and turn on power-hungry appliances.
Challenge
If forecasted wind is lower than expected, then real-time electricity prices spike as the sun starts to set. This causes reliability issues on the grid and retailers scrambling to purchase additional power on the wholesale market.
Amperon result
In the fall, ERCOT saw high net demand in the evening hours due to weak wind during the solar ramp-down. When Day-Ahead LMP prices spiked to $200 on October 25th, Amperon accurately called the demand for that hour within 0.03%
Impact
In ERCOT, Amperon’s net demand forecasts are 30% more accurate than the ISO for the last 12 months, letting retailers mitigate risk during high price times with confidence.
