Working with a 4-tenant office building in Georgia Power territory. Total monthly bills around $3,200, but they're getting hit with significant demand charges - peak demand around 85 kW. The building management thinks they might be on the wrong rate schedule. Anyone familiar with Georgia Power's small commercial options?
Small office building - demand charges hitting hard
Georgia Power has several options in that usage range. Could be Schedule GSD-1 or GSD-2 depending on the specifics. The demand charges vary quite a bit between schedules. I'd definitely run a rate analysis - seen cases where switching schedules saved $400-500/month on similar-sized accounts.
Thanks Dolores! I'll pull both GSD-1 and GSD-2 to compare. $400-500/month would be a huge win for this client. The building management is already talking about referring other properties if this works out.
