Time-of-day electricity consumption response to temperature and the ownership of air conditioning appliances

Book ·
OSTI ID:6159832
The endogeneity of air conditioning appliance ownership in the consumption of electricity by time-of-day (TOD) is discussed. Both TOD consumption and air conditioning appliance ownership depend on temperature level and on household responsiveness to temperature variation, as well as on other measured household characteristics. The paper presents an appropriate econometric methodology and applies it to obtain estimates and perform tests based on data from Southern California Edison's Residential TOD Pricing Experiment. The paper emphasizes the implications for estimated consumption price elasticities. 12 tables.
