The original server ran the customer model for two weeks and collected usage data. But that does not give brokers everything they need to start offering sensible tariffs at the start of the simulation. There has been [considerable discussion of this topic](http://power-tac-developers.975333.n3.nabble.com/Initial-conditions-for-Power-TAC-simulation-td3396641.html) on nabble, and a [detailed writeup on a new initialization scheme](http://www.powertac.org/wiki/index.php/Game_Design#Initialization) is in the participant's wiki. It needs to be implemented.
