That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. Spiking demand for electric heat collided with supply problems created by frozen natural-gas equipment and below-average wind-power production. That would mean installing vast amounts of energy storage, such as. unprecedented and deadly winter freeze.

The point of demand charges is to levy extra costs on those that put the biggest strain on the power grid, to offset the damage they do. After all, power grids do have a maximum amount of energy they can provide at once. So, How Does All This Hide Costs? Why Use Demand Charges and What Are Their Problems?
