So sharing costs proportionate to peak use seems reasonable.<br /><br />As Meredith point out, battery-assisted peak-sharving is a zero-zum game for utilities. They just battle as to whose customer pay. And they buy batteries and pass the costs on to the customers, too.Robert Hargraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06846491141058940965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-5482209768507533572018-07-06T09:14:06.672-04:002018-07-06T09:14:06.672-04:00Thanks for sharing few if any key energy leaders u...Thanks for sharing few if any key energy leaders understand the utility markets mindset. Thanks for sharing. Do you have a way to show your on cost shifting concept in a graphic?

But misusing this charging scheme isn't fair either. Would it not be possible to base a proportion of Tx usage on average usage?
