Electricity Pricing also: Presents mathematical methods and techniques used to establish electricity prices, determine cost causation, and evaluate pricing structures and mechanisms Explores ways to translate and integrate cost elements into practical pricing structures Details how engineering concepts are used to apportion production, delivery, and associated costs to determine cost of service and to support all aspects of ratemaking strategy, design, analysis, and decision making This comprehensive professional reference addresses theory but remains grounded in no-nonsense practical applications. It is dually suited to introduce newcomers to the technical principles and methodologies of electricity pricing and provide veterans with a valuable consolidation of advanced tools for pricing analysis and problem solving.

Download or read book Risk Principles for Public Utility Regulators written by Janice A. Beecher and published by Michigan State University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk and risk allocation have always been central issues in public utility regulation. Unfortunately, the term “risk” can easily be misrepresented and misinterpreted, especially when disconnected from long-standing principles of corporate finance. This book provides those in the regulatory policy community with a basic theoretical and practical grounding in risk as it relates specifically to economic regulation in order to focus and elevate discourse about risk in the utility sector in the contemporary context of economic, technological, and regulatory change. This is not a “how-to” book with regard to calculating risks and returns but rather a resource that aims to improve understanding of the nature of risk. It draws from the fields of corporate finance, behavioral finance, and decision theory as well as the broader legal and economic theories that undergird institutional economics and the economic regulatory paradigm. We exist in a world of scarce resources and abundant uncertainties, the combination of which can exacerbate and distort our sense of risk. Although there is understandable impulse to reduce risk, attempts to mitigate may be as likely to shift risk, and some measures might actually increase risk exposure. Many of the concepts explored here apply not just to financial decisions, such as those by utility investors, but also to regulatory and utility decision-making in general.

Download or read book Public Utility Rate Fixing written by C. E. Grunsky and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Utility Rate Fixing: Comments on Current Problems Pertaining to Public Utilities and to Rate Fixing A number of articles dealing with the problem of fixing public utility rates and related matters, originally contributed to the Journal of Electricity, have been assembled in this volume. One, by Capt. C. E. Grunsky, Jr., entitled Fair Value and the Rate Base has been included and Will be found at the end of the volume. As these articles are here reproduced from the original plates, this fact will sufficiently explain what might otherwise be classed as too frequent repetition of certain fundamental truths, such as the statement that it is illogical to make value which results from the earnings and therefore, too, from the rates, the basis of the calcu lation when rates are to be fixed. That some of the ideas here presented may prove helpful to those who are engaged in determining fair rates for the output of public utilities or in prescribing methods of pro cedure when rates are to be fixed, and that, the war having ended, this little volume may assist in the solution of some of the economic problems which will arise in the readjustment of affairs to peace condi tions, is the hope of the author.

Download or read book Public Utility Regulation written by Kenneth Nowotny and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-10-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David B. Smith This is a book about the application of economic theory to a unique form of social control - public utility regulation. A central theme of this work is to examine the role that economics has played in shaping the rationale and direction of regulatory practices. While economic theory has played an important role in the shaping of regulatory policy in the past, it has an even greater potential role to play in the future as the regulatory community grapples with the many challenges of a changing economic environment. This is a very timely and much needed piece of work that can serve as a reference for decision makers who are facing the challeng ing problems of deregulation and competition. This work is comprised of 13 selected articles that guide the reader from an initial discussion of why we decided to regulate certain industries in the first place to a specific analysis of what role economic theory has played in the electric, natural gas, telecommunications, and water indus tries, and whether it should be allowed to play an even more dominant role in the future. The reader is then provided with a more modern version of what economists mean by the concept of natural monopoly and a menu of policy options that will allow society to derive any benefits from such a market structure.
