It seems like a very easy way to make our electricity cheaper and also drive some interesting storage innovations.

ATCO is testing time of use in Grande Prairie (or was planning to test it). There will need to be a pile of back office testing that will need to take place as well.
In order to do this, most customers will need new meters which won't come cheap. The distribution utilities won't need to change everyone over at the same time, but it will take a while to change over every delivery point.
Why do you think it will make electricity cheaper? I haven't seen anywhere suggesting that would be the case.
