The demand for electricity in India is increasing every day. As per demand utility is required to generate, transmit and distribute electricity among different consumers. The cost incurred by utility for this purpose is recovered from different consumers by applying a suitable tariff. Load curve of Indian utility is peaky in morning and evening hours. Naturally, cost of generation will also increase in order to meet the peak demand. To reduce this gap it is necessary to shift the load of certain consumer categories to off peak hours. The major load on utility system is industrial, and hence if industries would take initiatives for flattening the load curve by shifting their loads from peak hours to off peak load hours, it will profitable to both utility and industry. Design of load tariff structure for industrial consumers encourages consumers to shift their energy usage. Under load tariff, consumption during different hours of the day is charged differently. The paper investigate the concept, implementation and impact of load tariff and other tariff based incentives/disincentives.
