title = "Residential energy demand and the interaction of price and temperature: British experimental evidence",
abstract = "The responsiveness of heating energy demand to pricing is shown to be dependent on temperature and vice versa. This is investigated empirically using residential electricity demand data obtained under conditions of price variation from a British time-of-use pricing experiment. Results confirm that consumer responses to higher electricity prices are conditional on temperature levels, particularly during the daytime and for households with high overall levels of electricity consumption and previous experience of time-of-use tariffs.",

note = "Funding Information: The article uses data collected from the Electricity Management Unit Demonstration Project (EMUDP), only the second British TOU pricing experiment. The EMUDP was conducted by the Electricity Association of Great Britain and part funded by the European Union over the period April 1989–March 1990 [see Peirson et al. (1991) for details]. Earlier work by the present authors using the EMUDP experiment data ( Henley and Peirson, 1994 ) investigated electricity consumption differences between households who volunteered for the experimental tariffs and a control sample and found significant evidence of electricity load-shifting by experiment households away from times of the day with a high price electricity. This was particularly so for households in higher consumption strata where the income effects of higher tariffs were proportionately larger. This earlier work did not attempt to estimate directly consumer responsiveness to TOU price changes and the present article rectifies this.",
