  Key Concepts: 
  Peak demand is a term used in the SAP Cloud for Energy - Billing Integration (LOD-C4E-BI) component to refer to the highest amount of energy consumed by a customer in a given period of time. It is typically measured in kilowatts (kW) or megawatts (MW). 
  
  How to use it: 
  Peak demand can be used to determine the maximum amount of energy that a customer needs to purchase in order to meet their energy needs. This information can then be used to determine the best pricing plan for the customer. Additionally, peak demand can be used to identify areas where energy efficiency measures can be implemented in order to reduce energy consumption and costs. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to monitor peak demand on a regular basis in order to ensure that customers are not overpaying for their energy needs. Additionally, peak demand can be used as an indicator of potential energy efficiency measures that could be implemented in order to reduce energy consumption and costs. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Peak demand is closely related to other terms such as peak load, peak power, and peak usage. Additionally, peak demand is often used in conjunction with other metrics such as average demand and total energy consumption in order to gain a better understanding of a customer’s energy usage patterns.
