Measuring the cost of transmission services
Recently proposed federal rules would require public utilities to provide open access to their transmission systems for wholesale power transactions by third parties and to post tariffs for transmission services that would apply to both their own transactions and those of others. To help utilities cope with this type of change, EPRI has developed the comprehensive Transmission Services Costing Framework, which can be used to facilitate utility cost management and to provide a foundation for establishing appropriate prices for transmission services. The framework defines basic types of transmission services in terms of their attributes, identifies specific costs for each type of service, and enables the user to choose an appropriate cost calculation method to meet particular objectives.
