The Nevada Dynamic Pricing Trial was designed to test four hypotheses about participant behavior and attitudes. The three primary hypotheses (considered at some length in this Interim Report) are each assertions about participants' behavior: (1) i.e., provided these treatments, the participants will shift and save energy; (2) these shifts and savings will take place for different participants at different times, and (3) these shifts and savings will differ in impact when provided together, as compared to when they are provided individually. Taken together, these three hypotheses suggest that providing new rates, technology, and education to residential utility customers will influence their electricity use. The fourth primary hypothesis is about participants' attitudes, asserting that (4) the participants' energy management responses to the treatments are significantly correlated with the attitudes of energy ownership, and satisfaction with energy ownership. Our fourth hypothesis suggests that the energy ownership attitudes of residential utility customers influence their responses to rates, technology, and education.
