tariff / price scheme Explanation: (Type a title for your page here) ... than the Energy Card but is still very limited. The Green Tariff scheme asks consumers to pay a higher electricity tariff in exchange for a guarantee that the ... www.ccsa.asn.au/campaigns/nuclear/nic/greenrg2.htm Part C: What is the utility’s production cost for part B? If the utility’s energy is sold at cost, how much should each customer pay (in ¢/kWh) for their energy? Part D: Design a tariff scheme based on time-of-day rates and/or demand charges which produces the same savings as Part B. Be sure to consider carefully the customer’s point of view, i.e.; be sure to carefully consider whether or not the customer is able to respond appropriately to your tariff. Part E: For the incremental cost driven tariff of part B, how can the utility tell which customer is which? How important is the answer to this question to the feasibility and success of Part B’s tariff? http://www.ent.ohiou.edu/~manhire/power/probset1/tsld006.htm Under the new power tariff scheme, consumers have been divided into four slabs instead of the original six, adversely affecting small domestic consumers who normally need up to 200 units of power a month. "We want the commission to revert back to the six slabs because the small consumer is now facing an almost 80 per cent hike. This is way beyond their paying capacity as they will now have to spend almost 10 to 15 per cent of their income on power bills," says Shankar. http://www.tehelka.com/ca090800world2.htm. 1.2 In 2001, UE has introduced an interruptible tariff scheme for large customers who, in certain circumstances, are willing to have some of their electricity load remotely switched off, or to have stand-by generation to meet this load remotely started, by United Energy. By encouraging large customers to delay their usage by a few hours during periods when the network is operating at or near its peak capacity, additional capacity is available for others. It is also hoped that this will encourage alternatives to traditional network augmentation as a means of meeting additional demand requirements. http://www.unitedenergy.com.au/community/Guideline_v2.pdf.
