Book excerpt: Electric utilities throughout the country are seeking for ways to address the growing threats that distributed solar energy technologies pose to their long-term stability. In particular, a small number of utilities have recently begun pursuing an “if you can't beat 'em, join 'em” sort of response to the rapid rise of rooftop solar. This type of strategy is manifest in a handful newly-proposed projects that would essentially allow utilities to compete as producers in private rooftop solar markets. What are the potential long-term consequences of allowing utilities to compete directly against rooftop solar energy companies? And what sorts of considerations should inform policy decisions relating to this trend? This article applies basic microeconomics framework that has long served as the primary theoretical basis for utility regulation itself to analyze new policies that permit regulated utilities to enter into distributed solar energy markets. The article ultimately argues that regulated electric utilities should not be permitted to compete directly in markets for rooftop solar installations and that policies that actively guard against these “unnatural monopoly” problems will promote greater economic efficiency as innovation continues to transform electricity markets in the coming years.

Download or read book Regulatory Choices written by Richard J. Gilbert and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2022-07-15 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regulatory Choices offers the first comprehensive economic history of energy policy and its consequences for California, where some of the most innovative and far-ranging programs of regulatory reform have originated. The authors of this volume have gathered together an impressive wealth of material about actual policy decisions and their repercussions and have subjected their findings to astute economic analysis. This book will serve for years to come as an invaluable reference on the costs and effects of various energy policies. With its focus on bringing prices in alignment with the true cost of producing power and delivering it to the customer, the first part of the book outlines the issue of setting utility rates and considers some of the proposals to provide regulated industries with incentives to respond to economic and environmental concerns. The problems of energy supply occupy the second part of the book, which includes a survey of the costs of alternative energy sources and estimates of their environmental impacts, as well as a case study of the construction of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. The book concludes by documenting the results of subsidy programs that were designed to target the development of wind power and residential energy conservation. Regulators, we learn, have a mixed record when it comes to managing the production of energy. Some conservation programs have enjoyed considerable economic success, particularly those that correct a lack of consumer information. Others, such as the renewable energy tax credits or programs designed to subsidize new technologies, have cost much more than the value of the energy they have saved. What emerges clearly from this study is that regulated industries are not immune from the forces of competition.

Book excerpt: As rooftop solar energy systems become an ever more attractive alternative to grid-supplied electricity, electric utilities are actively seeking for ways to protect themselves against this new form of disruptive innovation in their markets. One strategy that some utilities appear to be employing is that of using large “dark money” campaign contributions to influence public utility commission races and other state-level elections. Ambiguous campaign finance rules in the wake of the US Supreme Court's Citizens United decision have generated a hazardous degree of uncertainty regarding the extent of legal constraints on investor-owned utilities' funding of the election campaigns of utility regulators. Accordingly, some utilities have begun interpreting the law as permitting them to secretly make unlimited campaign contributions and thereby exert unbounded influence over the regulatory structure that governs them. What legal theories or strategies might help to resolve or mitigate this troubling new trend of dark money politics in utility law? This Essay highlights the nation's growing regulatory capture problems involving electric utilities and identifies some plausible means of addressing them.
