Time-of-Day Pricing in the U.S. Electric Power Industry at the Turn of the Century

RAND Journal of Economics, 1984, vol. 15, issue 1, 116-126

Abstract: Around the turn of the century, a debate occurred within the infant U.S. electric power industry on the issue of electricity rate structures. We describe those discussions and consider the views of some of the economists who first addressed the issue. Although they were ultimately unsuccessful, there were sophisticated advocates of time-of-day rates among the first engineers, utility executives, and economists to study electricity rates.
