Yea, this is load shedding and allows the utility to control certain appliances.
The best example in my area is water heaters. The appliance and sometimes even the electricity is provided at a some discount but the power is disabled during peak usage.
But I don't really see how you could incorporate the kind of complex pricing you describe. It would be too easy to cheat.
- silisili 4y agoWell they have similar things in place for basic charging more during peak hours and such, I guess I'm advocating for charging prohibitively more if found to be using way higher than normal amounts. Curious though, how would it be cheated? All of that said, a lot depends on the infrastructure. Most places I've lived still have dumb meters...which makes the idea rather moot.
