Abstract—The Ontario electrical grid is sized to meet peak electricity load. A reduction in peak load would allow deferring large infrastructural costs of additional power plants, thereby lowering generation cost and electricity prices. Proposed solutions for peak load reduction include demand

The main purpose of this paper is to give a set of necessary conditions for the determination of the opti-mal capacity charge under continuous and interdependent demand for telecommunications services. We show

Abstract. We consider a public utility that provides its service at two different times. Capacity in place can be used in both periods. We study the effects of a change from uniform pricing throughout the day to peak-load pricing, when the utility is constrained to operate with a fixed rate

peak period than the optimal. Finally, I consider a multiproduct setting, where the effect of the product differentiation is exacerbated.

This paper studies how robust or sensitive Steiner’s peak load pricing results are to changes in certain assumptions. The peak-load problem deals with choosing the optimal pricing scheme leading to optimal output when there is a non-storable good whose demand fluctuates periodically at a uniform

This paper develops a dynamic theory of peak-load pricing and service provision. Unlike the literature on peak-load pricing which assumes that the demand for service in each period is predetermined, here, consumers are utility maximizers and are free to postpone buying the service to a different

Abstract-Motivated by the importance of the peak load problem faced by the electric utility industries in this paper we analyze several different electricity pricing schemes from a game theoretic point of view. Recogniz-ing the limit of the traditional peak load pricing formulation
