Abstract: This article first reviews the sections of the National Energy Act as it applies to electricity rate innovations. It then focuses on one particular rate structure ("lifeline" rates) and identifies three research designs commonly used to evaluate its effects. Finally, it discusses the analytic and interpretive assumptions inherent in these studies and suggests how these assumptions will have to be altered before social scientists can contribute effectively to policy research in this area.
