Most of countries face
the potential of electricity shortage in summer weather. The possibility of
electricity shortage increase in the hottest days due to the excessive use of
air conditions which increase the peak demand on the electricity utilities
leading to electricity absence, in the same time we cannot live without
electricity as all of other our human aspects depend on electricity, this is
the electricity challenge that face the world today and tomorrow.
Most of electricity
researches show that the effective way to reduce electricity peak demand is to
apply "critical peak pricing" program.
This program has many names in electricity
utilities all over the world like peak day pricing program, smart rate program
and summer advantage incentive program… the program give a discount on
electricity price at certain hours and certain days "off peak low demand
days" but charge you for substantial premium electricity price in the
highest demand days of the summer.
By applying this program, residential customers will have the
incentive to reduce their electricity consumption and save electricity to reduce
their electricity bills and hence the electricity utilities will gain much
benefits of this electricity saving by reducing the investments required to
face the increased demand on electricity which we notice every day. So if you
live in a country that applies this program, I encourage you to sign up
immediately as you will save much money every month and also you will encourage
you electricity utilities to no cut off electricity so you guarantee the
continuity of electricity supply.
