The problem is that each utility customer that switches to a non-utility energy provider is no longer part of each utility’s list of prospective time-varying rate (TVR) adopters, even though the utility paid for the smart meter that made them available. And while third-party retailers and municipal aggregators could offer TVRs of their own, “there […]
The underlying problem is that there aren’t many financial incentives for customers to buy smart meters (most customers who do have smart meters were required by their state, or were heavily subsidized, to install them). At present, smart meters don’t matter for most customers because they don’t make a difference to cost. Most customers are […]
The government is likely to put its rubber stamp on cost-reflective pricing formulae for fuel and electricity within this year, as the burden of state-owned enterprise (SOE) debt has been weighing on the economy for too long. According to the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Cabinet is expected to approve a proposal to this effect […]
Vector has welcomed the Government’s announcement of the final terms of reference for its review of electricity pricing, saying it is nearly a decade since the retail and generation components of the sector were last independently and robustly assessed and the review should deliver needed transparency across the entire make-up of a consumer’s bill.

Distributed resources, driven by rooftop solar, will impact peak loads. MISO will continue to see rapid adoption of distributed generation with the rapidly declining cost of residential rooftop solar, Daukoru said.

It’ll take more than just driving an electric vehicle to save the environment. You’ll have to charge them at the right time, too. Put simply, if the world’s drivers plug in an increasingly large EV fleet right after work, it could undo many of the environmental benefits expected from fewer cars running on gasoline and […]
“I’ve never ever had a bill over $150, and that was [with] electric heat in the dead of winter,” Jacob Johnson of Tenants Harbor wrote in a Feb. 15 post on the Midcoast Message Board Facebook page. He said his CMP bill had more than doubled to $367 a month. The PUC receives complaints every […]
Last month, all three of California’s major investor-owned utilities submitted applications to the California Public Utilities Commission detailing their respective strategies for how to transition residential customers to time-of-use pricing. Time-of-use pricing, if done right, is a low-cost strategy to help meet California’s climate and clean energy goals. This innovative tool can help the state […]
Over two-thirds of the November increase in the index for final demand goods is attributable to prices for gasoline, which jumped 15.8 percent. The indexes for light motor trucks, pharmaceutical preparations, beef and veal, residential electric power, and jet fuel also moved higher.

“Most people focus on intermittency. But at least half of the problem is physics, maintaining system balance, which is not about intermittency – it is volatility that knocks over grids. So to enable all of the other solutions that are imperative to our future, you must first solve energy system stability. “The Faraday Grid is […]
