North Dakota Rate Design, Demand Response Analysis and Federal Funding Opportunities Review

MEEA seeks an achievable pathway for all people and communities in the Midwest to receive the economic, environmental and societal benefits of energy efficiency and the larger clean energy economy. [...] This respects the principle of gradualism and is a way to gently introduce the general concepts and incentives of time-varying rates to customers. [...] The demand control rate has a lower kWh energy charge than the default but a significant demand charge and provision for demand control of up to 14 hours within a 24-hour period. [...] General service structures: Customers under 25 kW are eligible for the small general service rate, which looks similar to the residential default rate albeit a modestly higher customer charge and without the possibility of the reduced rate for electric heating in the winter. [...] There is a peak-controlled service rate which builds off the default general service rate and a peak-controlled time-of-day service rate which builds off the general service time of day rate.
