Abstract
With today's utility regulatory climate and
sky-rocketing construction costs, electric
utilities across the U.S. are searching for
alternatives to building generating plants.
One of the alternatives used by Carolina
Power & Light Company is Time-of-Use Rates.
These rates give monetary incentives to
customers who change their electrical usage
patterns to coincide with the utility's off-peak
hours. This paper tells of a successful
energy management project between the utility
and an industry which shifted substantial
electrical loads to off-peak hours.
