Abstract
The primary aim of load shifting or peak
clipping is to lower the peak demand of the electricity
system as a whole or for key parts of the network and
thereby to reduce the need for investment in generation and
transmission capacity and to lower electricity supply costs.
The pricing mechanisms and contractual frameworks examined
in the project include conventional Time Of Use (TOU)
tariffs that vary by season, day of the week or time of the
day as well as special TOU contracts (contracts with large
consumers to adjust their regular maintenance activities
and/or major annual maintenance), interruptible contracts,
and TOU power purchase contracts (purchase of electricity
from customers who have excess self-generation). This Final
Report is structured as follows; Section 2 provides an
overview of the process of TOU tariff setting and rate
design, Sections 3 and 4 summarise the experience of TOU
tariffs and load management contracts in the MENA region
(Section 3) and internationally (Section 4), Section 5
summarises the methodologies used in the development of TOU
pricing mechanisms and load management contracts, Section 6
describes the marginal costs which are a key driver of the
tariff designs, Section 7 presents the analysis of the
demand response to TOU tariffs, Section 8 describes the
design of the conventional TOU tariffs, Section 9 discusses
special TOU contracts, Section 10 describes the design of
interruptible contracts, Section 11 describes the design of
TOU power purchase contracts, Section 13 describes the
implementation plan for TOU pricing and
loadmanagement contracts, there are also annexes
providing supporting information and analysis
