This report presents the results of a survey on electric utility innovative rate design activity in the United States today. The survey, conducted during 1986, invited responses from all major investor-owned utilities and a representative sample of non-investor owned utilities. For the 11 innovative rate designs surveyed, information is catalogued by class of service and type of rate, either already in effect or in active planning. With regard to implemented rates, the survey includes information on items such as number of customers on rate, cost basis of the rate design, customer acceptance, and rate structure features. The survey results show that Time-of-Use rates have the highest recorded activity level among both utility groups. The second most frequently implemented rate type is Interruptible/Curtailable. The appendices to this report contain data base output listings of the results from each responding utility and for each rate type surveyed. Summary listings are also provided both by utility and by rate design in order to serve as a directory for utility planners and ratemakers with specific rate development interests.
