Criteria for Determining the Effectiveness of Utility-Initiated Energy Assistance

The Electricity Journal, 2010, vol. 23, issue 3, 35-48

Abstract: The affordability of electricity and natural gas to all households requires some form of energy assistance, funded by utilities and their customers. Good regulation demands that EA initiatives have favorable benefit-cost ratios. Regulators should strive to assure that each dollar expended returns the highest possible dividend and that EA initiatives do not seriously impede other regulatory objectives.
