What is a Capacity Tag Charge and Why Should I Care?
With capacity tags, those that contributed most to a demand peak end up paying more to account for the higher capacity costs. However, this method can cause some unlucky consumers to end up with a higher rate if they consume an unusually high amount of energy during the peak period used to set the tags. That''s why it''s so
