A system, method and product for distribution-based incentives relating to resource consumption. The system comprising: a receiver configured to obtain from one or more monitoring devices monitoring information relating to resource consumption by a consumer over a space, wherein the space is partitioned into slots, wherein based on the monitoring information a consumption tuple of a consumer can be determined; a distribution obtaining module for obtaining a predetermined distribution of consumption of the resource, which is associated with the consumer; and a price computation module configured to compute a price of consumption by the consumer based on the consumption tuple, wherein the price is computed using a pricing function which is based on the predetermined distribution, whereby a price associated with resource consumption in a slot depends upon resource consumption in other slots. |
