I Pilot TOU Programs 2 3 Utilities do not need to conduct pilot programs before adopting voluntary TOU rates. 4 In fact most have not. The primary purpose of TOU rates-to provide more efficient 5 price signals-can be accomplished without s...
AI summary The text argues that pilot Time-of-Use (TOU) programs are not necessary for utilities to adopt voluntary TOU rates, as the primary purpose of TOU rates can be achieved without studying customer response. While TOU pilots can provide valuable load shifting data, they are costly and time-consuming, leading most utilities to rely on other utilities' experiences and predictive models instead.
d 7 marginal costs together. Although for NSPI the figures are similar, there is no 8 conceptual reason why the two should be combined. Only marginal costs are relevant 9 for rate design purposes. 10 11 In blending avoided and marginal cos...
AI summary The text discusses the distinction between marginal costs and avoided costs in rate design, arguing that marginal costs are more appropriate for aligning rate design policies with integrated resource planning. It emphasizes that marginal costs consider incremental changes in load and small differences, while avoided costs relate to cost reductions from alternative supply sources.
V. HYDRO-QUEBEC'S RECENT TOU EXPERIMENT 11 10 12 In its recent two-year pilot (1993-1994), Hydro-Quebec found that voluntary TOD 13 rates significantly reduced the peak loads of residential customers. Some of the 14 information learned may...

It introduces John Chamberlin and Ken Seiden, experts in utility work and demand-side management, and discusses historical use of declining block rates and their replacement with flat or inverted rate structures due to perceived inequities.
THE EFFECTS OF COMPETITION AND DEREGULATION ON IRP AND DSM Dr. John Chamberlin, Greg Collins, and Susan Shaffer Barakat & Chamberlin, Inc.
AI summary This section introduces the analysis of the effects of competition and deregulation on Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) and Demand Side Management (DSM) by Dr. John Chamberlin, Greg Collins, and Susan Shaffer from Barakat & Chamberlin, Inc.
Abstract The rapidly emerging competitive environment in the electric utility industry is already having a profound impact on utility planning practices and the implementation of demand side management (DSM) programs. The prospect of open...
AI summary The abstract discusses how the competitive electric utility industry is transforming utility planning and demand side management (DSM) programs. With the potential for full retail access, traditional integrated resource planning (IRP) and DSM programs may become obsolete, necessitating a shift toward customer value. Utilities must choose between competing in the commodity market or adopting a value-added retail strategy.
Introduction The passage of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 virtually eliminated any doubt that electric utility deregulation was on the horizon. Open wholesale transmission access is already a reality, and many states are starting to consid...
AI summary The passage of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 signaled the advent of electric utility deregulation, leading to open wholesale transmission access and the emergence of competition. This paper explores how demand-side management (DSM) strategies should evolve in a competitive utility industry.

AI summary The text discusses the evolution of the electric utility industry from a vertically integrated model to a deregulated one, highlighting the role of Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) and Demand Side Management (DSM). It outlines potential structural changes, such as unbundling into generation, transmission, and distribution, and the emergence of competition from energy brokers and other utilities.
The Role Of DSM For utilities competing in the unbundled wholesale generation market, DSM will make little sense in the long run. In a commodity wholesale market, where one competitor's product is indistinguishable from another's, price is...
AI summary This text discusses the evolving role of Demand Side Management (DSM) in both wholesale and retail energy markets. It argues that DSM may have a transitional role in the wholesale market by freeing up capacity for sale, but its long-term relevance depends on market-based pricing. In retail markets, DSM is expected to shift from rebate programs to value-added services.

AI summary This section discusses the future of Demand-Side Management (DSM) in a deregulated, competitive electricity market. It argues that DSM will shift from its current role to a value-added service in the retail transmission and distribution market. Concerns are raised about the environmental and social impacts of DSM's decline, suggesting new legislation and funding mechanisms may be required to maintain conservation efforts.
What Does this Mean for Future Utility Planning? First and foremost, to meet competition head on, a utility must decide what business it wants to be in. To thrive in a competitive market, it must understand its customers' business objectiv...
AI summary To thrive in a competitive market, utilities must become more customer-driven, understand customer needs, and differentiate their products and services.
