Annual demand cost savings calculator

Use billed peak reduction, not automatically every connected-watt reduction.

Sdemand=ΔkWbilled×rd×MS_{\text{demand}} = {\Delta \mathrm{kW}_{\text{billed}}} \times r_{d} \times M

Calculator

Enter the values you know and leave one box empty. Calculate finds the empty one, the result or any input.

Worked example

Given

  • ΔkWbilled{\Delta \mathrm{kW}_{\text{billed}}} = 12.4 kW
  • rdr_{d} = 14 $/kW-month
  • MM = 12 month/yr
Sdemand=12.4×14×12≈2,083S_{\text{demand}} = 12.4 \times 14 \times 12 \approx 2{,}083
