Where have all the benefits gone? Cost allocation toward residential ratepayers in restructured electricity markets

Journal Article · · Electricity Journal
Has the restructuring of electricity markets led to discriminatory cost allocation? A statistical analysis reveals that in restructured states utilities have disproportionately allocated costs toward residential customers. This trend is absent in states which have not deregulated electricity markets. This difference stands in stark contradiction to what economic theory suggests should have occurred in a normal market situation. (author)
