Abstract

Most utilities find that electricity rate design is a blunt instrument if the goal is to provide a safety net for low-income families. Alternative strategies to providing this safety net while securing cost-effective energy efficiency include identifying and targeting low-income customers for lower rates and, in the absence of an external carbon price, assigning an internal carbon price to retail sales.
