Peak Smart Plan
Pay less for off-peak consumption when you can shift discretionary load.
How it works
Peak Smart applies different per-kWh rates to peak and off-peak hours, with the peak window defined explicitly in the supply contract. Customers that can shift discretionary load — pumping, charging, batch processes — out of peak hours see meaningful unit-cost reductions over time.
When it’s the right fit
Right for facilities with operationally shiftable load and the willingness to make scheduling changes. We share interval-level consumption data so customers can see exactly how their schedule shifts translate into the monthly invoice.
Best for
- Facilities with shiftable load
- Operations that can run discretionary processes off-peak
- Customers seeking to optimise unit cost over months, not just lock in a number
Frequently asked questions
What is the Peak Smart Plan?
Peak Smart is Rockport Power’s time-of-use plan: different per-kWh rates apply to peak and off-peak hours, with the peak window defined explicitly in the supply contract. Facilities that shift discretionary load out of peak hours see meaningful unit-cost reductions over time.
Who benefits most from time-of-use pricing?
Facilities with operationally shiftable load — pumping, charging, batch processes, cold-storage cycles — and teams willing to adjust scheduling. If part of your consumption can move to off-peak hours, Peak Smart converts that flexibility into lower unit costs without reducing total consumption.
How do I know if load-shifting is working?
Rockport Power shares interval-level consumption data with Peak Smart customers, so you can see exactly how schedule changes translate into the monthly invoice. Settlement is monthly with an interval breakdown, making the effect of each operational adjustment visible and measurable over the term.
How are peak and off-peak hours defined?
The peak window is defined explicitly in your supply contract, so there is no ambiguity about which hours carry the higher rate. Rockport Power sets the two-tier structure around your operating pattern during proposal design, based on your historical interval consumption data.
Do I qualify for Peak Smart?
You need contestable status under RCOA — generally at least 100 kW average peak demand for a single facility, or the threshold reached through aggregation — plus discretionary load you can move off-peak. Rockport Power evaluates both from twelve months of consumption data.
