Deliberate Design: Creating Electricity Rates with Purpose

Summary

Many existing electricity rates are outdated and do not align with the needs of a rapidly evolving power grid or current policy objectives. This document, accompanied by a web tool, proposes a four-step framework to help utilities, regulators, and industry stakeholders design more deliberate retail electricity rates. The approach aims to better achieve policy outcomes by considering the context for change, establishing clear objectives, accounting for trade-offs, and planning for transition. As a guiding framework, the status of its direct implementation is unknown, but it provides a methodology for future rate design changes.
