Simulation of residential tariffs, per kW demand
Simulation of residential tariffs, per kW demand
My suggestion is changing in the format of home tariffs,to better reflect of what really happens!
Instead of charging the kWh consumption, charge for the required demand of the grid, in kW.
This demand would be integrated in 15 minutes. It would reflect the amortization of investments in installed capacity to serve the customer, which is, in fact, the main intrinsic cost component of the electric power sector.
To illustrate, assuming the reality of the amortization of investment in generation, transmission and distribution to the customer's home, the tariff would be R$ 150/kw/ month (USD 30/kW/month) - of course in ballpark numbers!
A house that registered a demand of 3 kW would pay USD 90 on that month.
Today, a customer that records 6 kW of demand and another that records 3 kW - both consuming the same volume in the month, for example 400 kWh, would pay exactly the same, although the investments made by the electric power sector are widely different!
