How do ConEd's current and proposed rates affect operating costs for heat pump customers?
COn ED rate analysis
How cost-reflective are the current and proposed rates?

How would you go about calculating these metrics?
Here's how we're thinking of doing it...
OUR proposed method
- Marginal energy & gen capacity from NYISO
- Marginal transmission capacity from NYISO?
- Marginal dist. capacity from ConEd MCOS
- Bill Alignment Test

COn ED rate analysis
How cost-reflective are the current and proposed rates?
What rates would improve operating costs and cost-reflectiveness for heat pump customers?
How would you go about calculating these metrics?

OUR proposed method
- Easy: Use Average & Excess Method
- Reach: Use CAIRO for optimization
