Query: Should Storage-Centric Tariffs be Extended to Commercial Flexible
  Demand?   Further electrification of the economy is expected to sharpen ramp rates and
increase peak loads. Flexibility from the demand side, which new technologies
might facilitate, can help these operational challenges. Electric utilities
have begun implementing new tariffs and other mechanisms to encourage the
deployment of energy storage. This paper examines whether making these new
tariffs technology agnostic and extending them to flexible demand would
significantly improve the procurement of operational flexibility. In
particular, we consider how a commercial consumer might adjust its flexible
demand when subject to Pacific Gas and Electric Company's storage-centric
electric tariff. We show that extending this tariff to consumers with flexible
demand would reduce the utility's net demand ramp rates during peak hours. If
consumers have a high level of demand flexibility, this tariff also reduces the
net demand during peak hours and decreases total electric bills when compared
to the base tariff.
