A discussion is given of rate structuring for electric power peak-load pricing based on the marginal-cost approach. The marginal cost economic theory states that, if the price of every commodity is set equal to its marginal cost, then society's scarce resources allocated so as to maximize consumer satisfaction. Economic efficiency, the fairness of price setting, and aspects of time-of-day rates are discussed. (PMA)
