Description
Summary:In 1975 the Federal Energy Administration, now the Department of Energy (DOE), initiated 16 rate-demonstration projects. This report summarizes a standardized analysis of data from the residential portion of six of those projects: Arizona, Connecticut, Ohio, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, and the Blue Ridge Electric Membership Corporation study of the North Carolina project. A brief description of the DOE rate-demonstration program is provided along with a statement of RTI's objectives in the analysis of TOU rate effects. The report also summarizes the individual project results, which indicate that the experimental TOU rates generally reduced both peak-period and total electricity usage on both average and peak days, since off-peak usage was usually about the same for both TOU and control customers. Analysis methods and data limitations are fully described and additional details on project specific results are given. Some qualitative conclusions and impressions about TOU rates that have been suggested by these analyses are offered.
