White power rates, now!
We have for years, the white tariff (time of use) available for residential consumers, here in Brazil.
It is an excellent tool to encourage the use of off-peak energy, benefiting the consumer (lower bill than the conventional tariff) and the country (reducing investments in increasing the supply side).
To become practical, electronic meters must be installed, which are able to account for energy consumption in the hourly segments provided for in the white tariff (peak, intermediate and off-peak).
The good news is that electronic meters have become really cheap!
So the main issue at stake is the official initiative to make it happen in a massive fashion. For the good of all the consumers!
