Survey: Most Utilities Expect TOU Pricing and Demand Programs Will Be in Place by 2012

Jan 20, 2010

In the recent Pacific Crest Mosaic Smart Grid Survey, utilities were asked to forecast when time-of-use pricing and significant demand programs will be in effect. By 2012, more than half of utilities expect to have these programs implemented with the remaining utilities expecting to implement these programs by 2016.

The problems with surveys ...

'Most Utilities Expect TOU Pricing and Demand Programs Will Be in Place by 2012' Let's rephrase that to 'most of the 20 utilities questioned thought TOU pricing will be in place by 2012'. Or more accurately '13 US utilities think that TOU pricing will be in place by 2012'.

What the remaining 000s will do is anyone's guess as this survey is as statistically relevant as ... well ... something that isn't stastically relevant at all.

Nice headline though - certainly caught may attention (for all the wrong reasons).

TOU Pricing Study-Pacific Crest Mosaic Study

When you say TOU pricing...do you mean average historical time of use pricing or do you mean dynamic pricing such as real time pricing or "day-ahead" pricing?

Smart Grid: The Tuesday Topic - Smart Grid News - Grid Modernization and the Smart Grid

THE TUESDAY TOPIC

Is the smart grid industry stalled? Or accelerating?

We're getting mixed signals about the vitality of the smart grid market. On the one hand, the recent DistribuTECH conference was one of the most successful ever. On the other, a well-known Wall Street analyst recently told his clients that the smart metering sector is "facing several headwinds," including weak regulatory support in the U.S. and delays in European adoption. Taking the pulse of the smart grid industry is this week's Tuesday Topic.
