The net-present-value technique widely used by unregulated companies for capital budgeting can also apply to regulated public utilities. Used to decide whether an investment is worthwhile, the NPV technique discounts an investment's initial outlay or cost. The type of project most appropriate for an NPV analysis is that designed to lower costs. Efficiency-improving investments can be adequately evaluated by the NPV method, which in certain cases is easier to use than some of the more complicated revenue-requirement computer models.
