- Title

- Abstract
The article focuses on the effect of wood and coal stoves on household use of electricity. The aim of this paper is to quantify these effects, which are part of the long-term adjustment to an electric price increase. The results obtained here ultimately bear upon utility rate and system planning decisions, and also upon questions of energy policy, which require information concerning household fuel substitution and responsiveness to price. The paper has three sections. The first explains the analysis of kWh demand, conditional upon equipment stocks. The second explains the stove ownership models. The third briefly explains the construction of a residential simulation model and reports the results of an experiment which quantifies the reduction in kWh consumption due to the use of stoves. The data used in this study were collected in a 1984 survey of over 65,000 residential customers of the American Electric Power (AEP) system, to which more than 36,000 responded and replied on the questions asked.
