This book was released on 1986 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Today we are holding an oversight hearing on the implementation provisions of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, which is commonly known as PURPA. Specifically, the two provisions are sections 201 and 210, which relate to cogeneration and small power production. PURPA is one of five separate statutes that comprise the National Energy Act, which was enacted in 1978 in response to what was widely viewed as a national energy crisis that had persisted in various degrees since 1973. A fundamental purpose of PURPA was to encourage the development of cogeneration and small power production, thereby reducing our Nation's dependence on imported crude oil, increasing our reliance on alternative energy sources, and improving the efficiency of our energy consumption and electric power production"--Page 1.

Book PURPA Public Utility Regulatory Practices Act Implementation

Download or read book PURPA Public Utility Regulatory Practices Act Implementation written by and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to provide some guidance in the structuring of state rules for the implementation of Public Utility Regulatory Practices Act (PURPA) of 1978. The problem posed here is how might rules be structured to allow for the development of biomass facilities which qualify, but which are not biased in favor of non-renewable resources. Such protects are likely to have different requirements necessary for their development than, for example, hydroelectric facilities. In a general comparison of the two, biomass projects will be fuel and fuel contract dependent, less capital intensive, and more likely to be dispatchable on an annual basis. In addition, biomass facilities may be cogenerators and have available to them more than one revenue stream. Biomass facilities may also be more likely than the hydros to go out of business during the term of the contract.

Book Gathering Information on Costs of Service

Download or read book Gathering Information on Costs of Service written by Jan Paul Acton and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) requires that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission collect various data on costs of service from utilities. The exact methodology of collection was left largely up to FERC. In this paper we make some specific recommendations on the way this data collection activity should be arranged. In view of the costs of collecting, storing, and disseminating large amounts of data, we recommend that only demonstratably useful data is collected. Further, FERC should consider sampling techniques in order that unnecessary costs are not imposed on utilities. In addition, the possibility of synchronizing these data collection activities with ordinary rate hearings should not be overlooked. We recommend that careful consideration be given to the need for collecting much of the traditional accounting cost categories. The intent of PURPA in Sec. 115 (a)(2) seems to definitely emphasize the need for economically based marginal costs information. Marginal cost information is difficult to collect in a standardized form and careful analysis of the methodology and accuracy of the collected data will be required. It is this difficulty that makes collection during regulatory hearings attractive as the assumptions behind the cost measurements can be scrutinized. Finally there would seem to be good reason for FERC to consider collecting interchange data that is consistent with the other data so that bulk power rates can also be analysed.

Book The Public Utilities Regulatory Policy Act PURPA and US Geothermal Industry

Download or read book The Public Utilities Regulatory Policy Act PURPA and US Geothermal Industry written by and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is an analysis of the issues confronting US energy policymakers and the US geothermal industry as the result of the implementation and interpretation of the 1978 Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act, commonly known as PURPA. It seeks to answer four sets of questions about PURPA: (1) What has the existence of PURPA meant to the US geothermal industry. (2) How has the interpretation of PURPA evolved over the past decade. (3) What particular portions of PURPA rule making have been most crucial to the growth and development of the geothermal industry. (4) What aspects of PURPA have been most troubling to utilities purchasing or developing geothermal energy.
