PJM Capacity Charges + Idle Assets: Your Hidden $2M Problem

If you're a manufacturer in PJM territory, you're getting hit twice—and most finance teams only see half the problem.

The visible hit: PJM capacity charges up 9X. Transmission costs up 900% since 2024. You're already feeling this pain in your P&L.

The invisible hit: Industry research shows that 40-60% of MRO inventory in typical facilities is excess, obsolete, or slow-moving. For a mid-sized manufacturer with $200M in replacement asset value, that could mean $1.5-$1.8M tied up unnecessarily, with carrying costs of 8-40% annually eating away at margins. That's up to $960K per year in pure capital drag.

Do the math: If you're paying $150K+/year in avoidable peak demand charges AND hemorrhaging $500K-$960K annually on excess inventory carrying costs... you have a $650K-$1.1M problem that compounds every year you ignore it.

The challenge: Most companies handle these as separate problems:

• Energy team tries to get budget approval for peak management systems
• Operations writes off surplus inventory as sunk cost
• Meanwhile, both problems continue draining cash

This webinar shows you the integrated approach:

Join energy optimization experts from Edgecom Energy and asset recovery specialists from NRI Industrial to learn how forward-thinking manufacturers are solving both problems simultaneously—creating self-funding projects that eliminate the budget approval bottleneck.

What you'll discover:

The Real Cost of Surplus: Why industry benchmarks show top-quartile facilities target only 1-1.5% of RAV in stocked MRO—and what that means for your facility

Asset Discovery Framework: How to conduct a rapid surplus asset audit to identify the 40-60% that's excess or slow-moving

Energy Intelligence in Action: How Edgecom's pTrack® AI predicts PJM Coincident Peaks to avoid six-figure capacity charges

The Recovery Process: How NRI Industrial has helped clients recover more than $650 million over 21 years through market-driven asset recovery programs, where clients typically achieve a 15–20% sell-through rate within 12 months and 30–35% within 24 months, delivering measurable recovery results aligned with real market demand.

The Strategic Sequence: Why timing matters—how to convert idle assets into working capital, then deploy those funds for energy optimization

Real Results: Case study showing $2.1M asset recovery funding 34% energy cost reduction

Your 90-Day Roadmap: Actionable implementation plan you can start immediately

Perfect for:

• Plant Managers wrestling with rising energy costs and space constraints
• CFOs/Finance Directors looking for capital-efficient solutions that improve working capital
• Energy/Sustainability Managers who need to prove ROI without CAPEX
• Operations Leaders managing surplus inventory that's generating negative returns

What you'll leave with:

• Free surplus asset assessment checklist
• PJM peak charge calculator

The bottom line: You can't control PJM's rate structure. But you CAN stop letting excess inventory drain 8-40% in annual carrying costs while simultaneously funding the energy intelligence systems that eliminate peak demand charges—without touching your CAPEX budget.
