PJM sets your capacity obligation, called the peak load contribution (PLC) or capacity tag, from your usage during the five PJM summer peak hours, June to September. That tag is billed for the whole next delivery year, June 1 to May 31. TraxRecovery's agent reads your bills, shows what the tag costs you per year, and estimates what cutting load in likely peak hours would save next year.

Reading the PLC on each bill
What the utilities agent checks
Your capacity tag (PLC)
The peak load contribution printed on each bill, read account by account.
The capacity charge
The capacity line on each bill, checked against the tag and the PJM price for that delivery year.
Cost per year
What the tag costs you over a full June 1 to May 31 delivery year.
Savings estimate
What a lower tag would save next year if you cut load in the likely peak hours.
A recorded baseline
The tag and charge before any change, so savings are measured against a fixed starting point.
How the tag is set
PJM uses your usage during the five PJM summer coincident peak hours, June to September. It is not your own monthly peak.
When you pay it
The tag set this summer is billed for the following delivery year, June 1 to May 31.
Savings, not a refund
This program does not claim money back. It shows what the tag costs, so you can lower next year's tag.
Peak-hour alerts
Alerts for likely peak hours are coming later.
