Until recently, activity-based costing (ABC) studies were undertaken primarily to understand and manage costs. With the approach of competition, however, leading-edge utilities engage in ABC projects not solely to reduce costs--even though controlling costs still matters a great deal--but more importantly to increase shareholder value, and to design and price new products and services for the competitive market. This report provides insights from a number of case studies of ABC applied to the electric power industry as well as competitive industries that illustrates some of the lessons learned.
