Advance Price Notice and Intertemporal Demand Adjustment 1: Osaka Metropolitan University, Japan; 2: University of Tokyo, Japan; 3: Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Incorporated, Japan Time-varying electricity prices are widely used to manage demand under capacity constraints, often accompanied by advance notices of impending peak periods. This paper studies how the effectiveness of such advance price notices in demand response (DR) programs depends on users' load profiles. We characterize load profiles using the coefficient of variation (CoV) of electricity consumption and link them to intertemporal demand adjustment. The results show that advance notices are not uniformly beneficial: they can either strengthen or weaken demand response depending on whether users can reallocate electricity use across time. Users with low CoV exhibit limited intertemporal substitutability and respond to advance notices by smoothing consumption over time, which attenuates DR effectiveness. In contrast, users with high CoV exhibit greater intertemporal substitutability, enhancing DR responses. Using micro-level data from an industrial DR program in Japan, we provide empirical support for these mechanisms and discuss why utilities issue advance notices despite their heterogeneous effects. | |
