Title: Electric Utility Rate Design Study: costs and rates workbook. Part II. Learner's guide. Part III. Case studies

Abstract

As part of the transfer activities of the Electric Utility Rate Design Study, a set of regional workshops were held in April of 1980 to give utility and commission staff members a chance to apply the marginal and accounting costing methods and to calculate TOD rates based on the various procedures. The objective of the workshops was to emphasize the steps involved in the costing and ratemaking process and to point out what difference it makes if one procedure is used over another at any particular step. To assist in this exercise, a workbook was prepared for the workshop participants. The workbook has been printed as a two-volume publication; this report is one of those volumes. The workbook has three objectives: teach the mechanics involved in the application of various costing for ratemaking methods; provide an understanding of the issues and assumptions involved in applying a specific method; and provide a decision framework for selecting between methods and provide information for determining which methods are most appropriate under specific circumstances. Individual sections of this volume, the learner's guide, are devoted to: selection of costing periods; marginal capacity costs and their attribution to time periods; allocation of accounting costs; calculation ofmore » marginal energy costs by costing period; time-of-day (TOD) marginal cost rates; and TOD accounting cost rates.« less
