ToU Savings — Dairy Chilling Optimization
Monthly savings from shifting dairy chilling optimization load to off-peak windows.
Bulk milk coolers and ice-bank builders are textbook off-peak loads — build ice at ₹6.5 and melt it against the afternoon peak.
ToU arbitrage for a dairy chilling optimization: the savings need no new equipment, only scheduling — run the shiftable processes when the meter charges least. India's 2023 ToD rules push commercial consumers onto these tariffs by default; the spread is the reward for flexibility.

Frequently asked questions
What loads can realistically shift to off-peak hours?+
Anything with storage or schedule freedom: water pumping (tanks store), refrigeration pre-cooling (thermal mass stores), batch processes (melt/mix/heat-treat at night), EV charging (vehicles sleep anyway), compressed air with receivers. Typically 20–50% of industrial load is shiftable with zero capex.
How much does time-of-day shifting save?+
The window spread × shifted units: at a ₹4.5/kWh peak-to-off-peak spread, every 1,000 kWh/day moved saves ~₹1.2 lakh/yr. India's 2023 ToD framework widens spreads further — flexibility is becoming a tradable skill, and this calculator prices yours.
Does shifting load affect production?+
The art is shifting energy, not output: overhead tanks decouple pumping from use, ice banks decouple cooling from occupancy, night-shift melting feeds day-shift casting. The sector presets here mark processes where the decoupling already exists — start with those.
Are ToD tariffs optional?+
Decreasingly: the 2023 Electricity (Rights of Consumers) amendments push ToD as default for commercial/industrial smart-metered consumers, with solar-hours rates CHEAPER by design. The spread is policy now — operations that learn to surf it gain a permanent cost edge.
