【 摘 要 】

The primary aim of load shifting or peakclipping is to lower the peak demand of the electricitysystem as a whole or for key parts of the network andthereby to reduce the need for investment in generation andtransmission capacity and to lower electricity supply costs.The pricing mechanisms and contractual frameworks examinedin the project include conventional Time Of Use (TOU)tariffs that vary by season, day of the week or time of theday as well as special TOU contracts (contracts with largeconsumers to adjust their regular maintenance activitiesand/or major annual maintenance), interruptible contracts,and TOU power purchase contracts (purchase of electricityfrom customers who have excess self-generation). This FinalReport is structured as follows; Section 2 provides anoverview of the process of TOU tariff setting and ratedesign, Sections 3 and 4 summarise the experience of TOUtariffs and load management contracts in the MENA region(Section 3) and internationally (Section 4), Section 5summarises the methodologies used in the development of TOUpricing mechanisms and load management contracts, Section 6describes the marginal costs which are a key driver of thetariff designs, Section 7 presents the analysis of thedemand response to TOU tariffs, Section 8 describes thedesign of the conventional TOU tariffs, Section 9 discussesspecial TOU contracts, Section 10 describes the design ofinterruptible contracts, Section 11 describes the design ofTOU power purchase contracts, Section 13 describes theimplementation plan for TOU pricing andloadmanagement contracts, there are also annexesproviding supporting information and analysis
