Streamlined Ratemaking: Recognizing Challenges for Consumers

Jeffry Pollock

The Electricity Journal, 2010, vol. 23, issue 9, 7-12

Abstract: Streamlined ratemaking can be problematic if improper ratemaking practices are employed, consumers are forced to bear risks that have traditionally been born by utilities and their shareholders, and utilities are no longer strongly motivated to provide safe and reliable service at the lowest reasonable cost. Measures can be taken that help preserve the regulator's role as a surrogate for competition, thereby ensuring that rates are both just and reasonable.
