SUMMARY:Peak Demand: What It Is and How It Can Serve Your Community (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Each morning from June to mid-September\, MAPC sends out an email that assesses the risk that the annual peak could occur that day and\, if so\, at what time. The notifications also include an outlook for the next week so municipalities have time to plan ahead. MAPC develops this assessment by analyzing data provided by the grid operator\, ISO-NE. \nJoin MAPC and Eversource to learn more about the Peak Demand Notification Program and other ways to manage demand and costs for your buildings this summer! \nRegister for the Webinar \nVisit the Peak Demand Program Webpage
