“…Findings indicate that switching to a prepaid program is associated with a 12% reduction in electricity consumption. The results of this study and those conducted in earlier years in Kirkeide (2009) are fairly close. We also explore the heterogeneity in response to prepaid electricity pricing by wealth level.…”

“…We also conduct the percentage method because this ensures that every customer in the small samples has equal impact in the energy analyses. Kirkeide (2009) used the percentage DID method with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design in the first three M-Power studies. This design also has been used by SRP in studies to estimate the effects of innovative time-of-use (TOU) price plans on energy usage behavior (Kirkeide 2012).…”

“…SRP had conducted studies on the energy savings from M-Power program using the data from 2002 to 2006 (Kirkeide 2009). Kirkeide (2009) finds that M-Power customers used about 11% (using data of 2002 and 2003), 13% (using data of 2003 and 2004), and 12% (using data of 2005 and 2006) less electricity compared to similar customers on the standard residential price plan. EPRI (2010b) publishes a report with detailed description of the SRP M-Power program, including its technologies, customer experience, and influence on electricity usage.…”

By using customer‐level residential billing data from 2008 to 2010 of a major utility company in Phoenix metropolitan area, this study adopts a matching approach and a difference‐in‐differences method to estimate empirically the impact of a prepaid electricity plan on residential electricity consumption, after correcting for selection bias. Results show that the prepaid program is associated with a 12% reduction in electricity usage, customers with lower level of wealth or those with higher amount of arrearage prior to switching to the prepaid program tend to save more electricity after switching, and prepaid customers save more electricity in the summer than winter.
