Peak shaving: identifying high peaks in your charts

Peak shaving in Leafy Energy

Peak shaving simply means flattening your highest peaks. Leafy Energy’s charts are built to make those peaks easy to spot.

How do you spot a peak?

• Hourly bars that tower above the others in your daily chart.
• Red highlighting in periods where both price and usage are high.
• Insight cards stating: “Your highest peak this week was Tuesday at 19:00”.

What can you do next?

• Shift EV charging to cheaper hours.
• Start boilers or large loads slightly earlier or later.
• Let Home Assistant/Homey automations react to Leafy Energy signals.

In demos, show the “before” week with high peaks first, then a simulated week with a simple peak-shaving strategy applied.
