Taking Advantage of Our Transformative Future (in-person)

Course Overview

In 2020 there was a 32% increase in the number of utilities offering time varying rates to customers.

This number is expected to continue growing as more utilities are using advanced metering for customers.  Time varying rates promote EVs, electrification of buildings, battery installations, and improve system resiliency.  Taking advantage of these changes requires proper financial planning and understanding the new federal incentives combined with a long-term view of rate strategies.  This session will discuss:

1. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJ) providing more than $550 billion in new federal

funding

2. The growth of time varying rates and how they lower costs and improve customer satisfaction

3. The benefits and value of batteries to electric utilities

4.  How and why utilities are promoting the electrification of buildings

5. Positives and negatives of various forms of dynamic pricing including Time of Use Rates and the advantage of overlaying a critical peak pricing period

6. New and old forms of demand side management programs for residential customers b. Peak time rebate programs (PTR) for residential

7. Residential demand charges and alternative methods recover distribution costs for utilities without AMR
