Which Households Respond to Electricity Peak Pricing Amid High Levels of Electrification?
Garnache, Cloé; Hernæs, Øystein; Imenes, Anders Gravir - 2022
We examine heterogeneity in Norwegian households’ price responses to critical peak pricing (CPP) on electricity consumption, using a large-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT), high-frequency electricity data, and default enrollment. Increasing the grid transmission charge by 4,067%...
