Interesting Article on Peak Energy Use

[geaston]

Hi All;

I thought this (http://www.reuters.com/article/environmentNews/idUSN0961359320080109) article was interesting.

Seems to me a great feature and an extension of what they are talking about, would be to adjust prices based on peak pricing, i.e. charge more at 3 p.m. during a heat wave as opposed to first thing in the morning. Some say we are simply in the business of re-selling utilities, so this would allow us to charge a consistent mark-up based on what we are actually paying.

Thoughts anyone?

Don't see how that is relevant unless you are billed based on time-of-day or peak time energy pricing. I pay the same amount for a kilowatt at 4am as 4pm seven days a week.
