Webinar: Showcase of the Largest Residential Dynamic Pricing Programs in the U.S.
Event Tabs Default Post-Event
In the Residential market, the availability of smart meters is growing daily. Many utilities are testing a variety of dynamic pricing structures to learn what works best. But what can we learn from the largest dynamic pricing programs that have already been established, sometimes for many years? This Brown Bag will showcase the largest dynamic pricing programs in the country, with one example presented for each of the following types: Time Of Use (TOU), Critical Peak Pricing (CPP), Variable Peak Pricing (VPP), Peak Time Rebates (PTR), and Real Time Pricing (RTP).
During this Brown Bag session you will gain a solid understanding of the various dynamic pricing options that are available, and lessons learned from the field on what works where and why.
Speakers will answer important questions such as:
- How is your dynamic pricing option structured?
- How long has it been offered, and who is eligible?
- How many participants are on it now?
- What impacts have been observed for participants and/or the utility?
- What are your best 'lessons learned' from implementation?
- What was the need/motivation for this dynamic pricing option?
- Are you part of an open wholesale electric market (ISO/RTO)?
- Is there competition for your residential retail customers?
- How do these open markets, or lack of them, affect your dynamic pricing offerings?
- How do/will smart meters impact them?
