I should have put a paragraph break there. Off Peak involves meters
and brochures and billing software and public regulatory hearings
and so on and so forth. There have been a lot of broad assertions
about what matters to A utility, but there is no single utility
reality, different utilities face different issues and off peak is
not a universally useful option, nor are its costs and benefits
identical in each utility's situation -- not unlike most things. I
think public utilities have other cultural problems, and of course a
couple of years is nothing in the geological time scale ....<br>
