"LG&E's proposed responsive pricing pilot program will incorporate time-of-use pricing with a real-time, critical peak pricing component; smart metering and information displays; and a Demand Side Management component for those customers who choose to participate in responsive pricing. The implementation of this variable rate structure will be possible through the use of smart meters, information displays and DSM equipment such as programmable thermostats and load control switches. Automation of the usage of these loads will allow Pilot participants to shift usage without manual intervention on a daily basis. Indeed, our investigation for the Pilot indicates that using such technology has been successful resulting in high customer satisfaction and significant shifting of usage from hours of high demand."
