Summary:

One in a series of studies on customer response to utility regulatory pricing in early 1975, the Arizona demonstration project was carried out by the Federal Energy Administration (FEA) and the Arizona Public Service Company, beginning in 1975, with an experimental period of six months. The study was originally titled the Time of Day Metering Load Research and was an experiment to generate and analyze data on the effects of peak-load pricing on residential electricity consumption. The experimental design featured 28 time of day rates with varying prices for peak, shoulder, and off-peak periods. Five sets of data resulted from the demonstration: questionnaire survey data from the customers, summary demographic information, utility load reports, weather data, and customer usage records. All five sets are available in this data collection. Although a pre-test survey was conducted, only the post-test data are included in Part 1. Parts 3-5 each contain 28 days of data, with Parts 3 and 5 including hourly data. Parts 3-5 also contain identifying information that links their data to the pertinent customer/participant's demographic data in Part 2.... Cf.: http://dx.doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR07887
