FERC`s mega-NOPR: The IOUs respond restructuring appears to be a matter of opinion

Journal Article · · Fortnightly
OSTI ID:245489

It comes as no surprise that regulated investor-owned utilities (IOUs) hold divergent views on the restructuring of the electric industry. Size, generation, cost, transmission access, customer loyalty, and the friendliness of state regulators all factor into their individual visions of restructuring. Just how far these conceptions vary becomes obvious from the comments filed by the IOUs to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) issued by the Federal Engergy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on open-access transmission and stranded investment. In all, there were 83 replies to FERC`s requests for comments. This article reviews a number of these comments.
