Cogeneration and small power production regulations promulgated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission have caused much controversy. This paper addresses the current status of buyback tariffs, the controversy of avoided costs, reliability factors in the capacity credit, and the small power producer and cogenerator as partial requirements customers. Several possible solutions are offered. For example, the avoided cost controversy can be simplified by separating costs into time of day. But in general there is little additionally that regulators can do in the way of mitigating difficulties between supplying utilities, cogenerators, and small producers.
