The study uses data for Maryland utilities, as well as the results of electricity pricing experiments in other states, to stimulate plausible scenarios of what could be expected as a result of the introduction of marginal-cost-based seasonal time-of-day (STD) rates for Maryland electricity customers. These scenarios are presented for customer classes and for individual utilities. The study suggests the results of STD pricing on kW demand as well as in KWh consumption. In addition, a benefit/cost analysis is presented to indicate which and how many of the utility's customers can profitably be placed on TD pricing.
