Most utilities continue to charge a flat fee for energy, though many are moving toward variable pricing. The Commissioner of the California Energy Commission John Geesman recently said that smart (connected) meters will be rolled out in residential dwellings over the course of 4 to 5 years in California.

The idea behind structuring the electricity tariffs for dynamic pricing (i.e. Demand Response) is so that the consumer is no worse off financially, but has enough incentive to shift power usage to a different time of day. Often, in the rate structures, these “off peak” tariffs are lower than the flat rate today — so in the end, a good automation system could reduce your energy bill.

The point of the technology is that if you can see that the price is higher when there is more demand, you turn it down, and pay less.
