Why it matters

Dynamic rates already optimize electricity use for cost. Mekeci's project shows how carbon could become a second signal, while exposing how much the result depends on modeling choices.

Halil Yavuzhan Mekeci is running a daily experiment in electricity pricing: charge less when the grid is clean, charge more when it is dirty, and calculate how much household demand might move as a result. His Carbon Aware Pricing dashboard applies that idea to Switzerland and 37 US power regions, from California and Texas to regional utilities in Montana, Florida and the Carolinas.…
