How do ConEd's current and proposed rates affect operating costs for heat pump customers?

COn ED rate analysis

We start with simulated

load curves...

...and apply some tariffs.

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

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?

What rates would improve operating costs and cost-reflectiveness for heat pump customers?

How would you go about calculating these metrics?

Here's how we're thinking of doing it...

OUR proposed method

  • Easy: Use Average & Excess Method
  • Reach: Use CAIRO for optimization
