Ebasco's studies were aimed at showing how the different costs of time-differentiated services can be ascertained and how such costs can be used to make time-differentiated rates. Dr. Walter A. Morton, a consultant, was retained by EPRI to comment on portions of Ebasco's reported research; here he makes a general evaluation on the studies, but specifically on Topic 1.3: Pricing Approaches; Topic 4: Cost for Peak-Load Pricing; Topic 5: Ratemaking; and a final evaluation concerning application to Virginia Electric and Power Company. Two appendices are included; Utility Earnings and Time-Differentiated Rates and Temperature-Sensitive Rates. (MCW)
