“It’s not surprising there’s been little improvement in demand responsiveness given that a series of special rebates, the availability of fixed-term contracts, and the rules governing the behaviour of the Independent Market Operator combined to shield market participants from electricity price increases,”

One can see where the Minister is coming from. Current electricity prices are too low to fund new investment necessary to restore supply security. Average generation prices of around 12 c/kWh are less than half the cost of new coal-fired generation plant. The recently installed turbines, which are keeping the lights on over the Cape winter, produce power at a cost much higher than even the highest industrial tariff.

Lithium-ion cells are poised to take an increasing share of the auto battery market, just as electric drive seems set to begin a long, slow climb to become, at last, a serious power-train option. But what’s rarely understood is how much that second revolution depends on the first.

shared by Hans De Keulenaer on 11 Sep 07 - Cached

So why would a utility that makes money by selling power encourage someone to use less of it? The short answer is tight supply. Rather than paying higher spot prices to get more electricity onto the grid in times of peak usage, it is actually cheaper to set up these programs so that they can reduce consumer demand instead.

You really can’t equate electricity with an airline trip or a telephone. You don’t have to take that trip. Or not use the phone. We use electricity thoughout our day. Washing our clothes, refrigerating our food, computers, etc. It is pervasive. Some economists say electricity isn't suited to competition because it's needed 24 hours a day and can't be stored, giving sellers too much leverage.
