ドイツの1万世帯以上のスマートメーターデータ（5700万時間観測）を用いて、リアルタイム料金（RTP）と固定料金の家庭の電力消費のCO2排出原単位を比較。RTP顧客は価格に反応して消費をシフトするが、必ずしも低炭素時間帯と一致せず、固定料金顧客の方が単位あたり排出がわずかに低いことを発見。バッテリーやEV充電器が負荷シフトに重要だが、それでもクリーンな時間帯との一致は限定的。炭素強度シグナルと価格の統合の必要性を示唆。
English
Using 57 million hourly observations from 10,751 German households, this study compares CO2 emissions intensity of electricity consumption under real-time pricing (RTP) versus static tariffs. RTP customers shift consumption in response to price but not necessarily to low-carbon periods; static customers have slightly lower emissions per unit. Batteries and EV chargers enable load shifting, yet usage rarely aligns with cleanest grid hours. Findings challenge the assumption that RTP inherently reduces emissions and highlight the need to integrate real-time carbon intensity signals with pricing and enabling technologies.

日本のGX文脈において
日本では、需給調整市場や容量市場の整備が進む中、家庭部門のデマンドレスポンス導入が検討されている。本研究成果は、価格シグナルと炭素強度の乖離が実証された点で、日本の次世代スマートメーター政策や時間帯別料金設計に重要な示唆を与える。また、家庭用蓄電池やEVの活用が鍵となることを示しており、日本の補助金政策や系統運用にも関連する。
In the global GX context
Globally, this study provides empirical evidence that real-time pricing alone does not guarantee emissions reductions, challenging assumptions in demand-response programs. It underscores the need for carbon-intensity-based pricing signals and enabling technologies like batteries and smart charging. For jurisdictions implementing time-of-use tariffs or dynamic pricing (e.g., EU, US), the findings inform policy design to align consumer behavior with grid decarbonization.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This study examines the relationship between household electricity consumption and carbon (CO₂) emissions costed in terms of real-time pricing (RTP) versus a static tariff. The analysis is based on 57 million hourly observations taken between February 2024 and January 2025 from 10,751 German households, each equipped with some kind of energy management system and most with a home battery. Overall, we find that RTP customers do not consume electricity with lower CO₂ intensity than customers on static tariff. In fact, both groups have negative price coefficients, but the effect is much stronger for RTP households. Customers on a static tariff show little response to price changes, whereas RTP customers reduce their consumption much more noticeably when prices rise. However, static customers have slightly lower CO₂ emissions per unit. Hence, while RTP might encourage customers to shift their usage patterns to lower-priced periods, this does not necessarily align with periods of low CO₂ output. Our results also illustrate that batteries and electric-vehicle chargers are critical enablers of load shifting. Yet, even with these technologies, the times at which people use electricity rarely coincides with the cleanest grid hours. These findings challenge the assumption that RTP inherently reduces emissions without also installing ancillary physical technologies, like batteries. Most importantly, this research shows the importance of integrating real-time carbon intensity signals with pricing and better access to enabling technologies to align electricity use with cleaner grid conditions.
