Abstract: Information on customer response to time-of-use (TOU) rates plays a major part in utility resource planning, particularly in the design of cost-based rate structures and cost-effective load management programs. Several elasticity concepts have been used by economists to analyze customer response to TOU rates. We discuss the interrelationships between various concepts and show that total uncompensated price elasticities are the appropriate measure of customer response.
