dc.description.abstractImplementation of maximum demand charge is a possible solution to better reflect the cost of generating and delivering electricity. However, this implementation leads to additional charge in the electricity bill and would effect on the electricity affordability among the residential customers.

Findings from this study indicates most of the respondents do not face electricity unaffordability problem and seem to be willing to pay for the maximum demand charge. � BEIESP.
