Technical Report · Wed Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1975

Bauer, D C

Comments recorded here are directed at two key reservations raised by Wisconsin industrial customers in response to the time-of-day electrical rate structure. These concerns are: (1) that the higher on-peak rates in time-of-day pricing will lead to substantially higher electric bills--discriminating against industrial customers; and (2) that adoption of time-of-day rates will place Wisconsin at a competitive disadvantage relative to industries in other states. Arguments are presented to allay the concerns and to point out how the use of time-of-day rates would benefit the entire country by conserving energy. (BLM)
