The Energy Journal, 1995, vol. 16, issue 4, 57-77

Abstract: State public utility commissions in the United States have implemented incentive regulations to promote the operating efficiency of nuclear power plants. This paper surveys these incentive programs .focusing on the performance-based pricing approach. Ourfindings suggest that the performance-based price should be set between the electric utility's avoided cost and the marginal cost of generating electricity at the nuclear power plant.
