The Time is Ripe for Demand Side Management
August 13, 2007
Is there green in 'misfit' technologies? | www.nytimes.com
The USA power industry has entered an era of significant technology change involving retail uses of electricity. These will delay the need for some expensive peaking generation plants and transmission wires. The economic advantages of derregulated regions (northeast & Texas) will become most evident as they avoid costly new infrastructure (power plants & transmission) by allowing those causing peak demand to be charged a greater share of those costs. Those locations and time-of-use demands will invest in new technologies that enable them to avoid cosstly use during peak periods. These economic signals and savings will be more muted in regions where retail consumers are still captive to single source energy monopolies (the west, midwest and southeast).
