Electric Utility Planning and Regulation

The electric utility industry has moved from a growth-oriented environment into a period of instability, competition, and restructuring. This book outlines the strategic and organizational issues facing the industry and provides in-depth assessments of the impact of specific planning rules and regulatory mandates.Among the issues explored are the development of independent power producers, implementation of lifeline rates, increasing emphasis on marginal costs, and mandated conservation programs. Many of the details are drawn from the experience of California utilities where regulatory and market experimentation has been the most extensive.Kahn, Edward is the author of 'Electric Utility Planning and Regulation', published 1991 under ISBN 9780918249135 and ISBN 0918249139.
