Additional Details
Respondents check if one or more customers are enrolled in time-of-use pricing, real time pricing, variable peak pricing, critical peak pricing, and critical peak rebates.
Columns
EIA short code identifying a balancing authority. May include Canadian and Mexican BAs.
Whether customers are participating in critical peak pricing, a program in which rate and/or price structure is designed to encourage reduced consumption during periods of high wholesale market prices or system contingencies, by imposing a pre-specified high rate or price for a limited number of days or hours.
Whether customers are participating in critical peak rebates, a program in which rate and/or price structure is designed to encourage reduced consumption during periods of high wholesale market prices or system contingencies, by providing a rebate to the customer on a limited number of days and for a limited number of hours, at the request of the energy provider.
High level categorization of customer type (e.g., commercial, residential).
Number of customers.
Whether the respondent has customers participating in a real time pricing (RTP) program. RTP is a program of rate and price structure in which the retail price for electricity typically fluctuates hourly or more often, to reflect changes in the wholesale price of electricity on either a day- ahead or hour-ahead basis.
Date reported.
Whether the reported information comes from the short form. In the case of form EIA 861, a shorter version of the form was created in 2012 to reduce respondent burden on smaller utilities and increase our processing efficiency.
Two letter US state abbreviation.
Whether the respondent has customers participating in a time-of-use pricing programs (TOU). TOU is a program in which customers pay different prices at different times of the day. On-peak prices are higher and off-peak prices are lower than a “standard” rate. Price schedule is fixed and predefined, based on season, day of week, and time of day.
The EIA Utility Identification number.
The name of the utility.
Whether the respondent has customers participating in a variable peak pricing program (VPP). VPP is a program in which a form of TOU pricing allows customers to purchase their generation supply at prices set on a daily basis with varying on-peak and constant off-peak rates. Under the VPP program, the on-peak price for each weekday becomes available the previous day (typically late afternoon) and the customer is billed for actual consumption during the billing cycle at these prices.
Maturity of the source data published by EIA that is reflected in this record. EIA releases data incrementally over time, including monthly updates, annual year-to-date updates, provisional early releases of annual data, and final annual release data that is not expected to change further. Records sourced from multiple upstream EIA datasets may have no well defined data maturity. Records whose values have been inferred within PUDL will also have no data maturity.
