Summary:

This paper discusses how well private firms and public sector institutions' operating conditions, knowledge structures, decision-making practices, and external relationships comport with real time pricing assumptions and how this might impact price response. This paper is based on interviews with 29 large (over 2 MW) industrial, commercial, and institutional customers in the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation service territory that have faced day-ahead electricity market prices since 1998.
