This extensive bibliography provides documentation to assist state public utility commissions and major nonregulated utilities in evaluating the applicability of a wide range of electric utility rate design ad regulatory concepts in light of certain regulatory objectives. Subjects covered in Part I, Utility Regulatory Objectives, are conservation of energy and capital, efficient use of facilities and resources, and equitable rates to electricity consumers. Part II, Rate Design Concepts, considers time-of-day rates; seasonally-varying rates; cost-of-service (customer-energy-demand charge) rates; interruptible rates, including the accompanying use of load management techniques; declining block rates; and lifeline rates. Part III, Regulatory Concepts, covers the following: restrictions on master metering; procedures for review of automatic adjustment clauses; prohibitions of rate or regulatory discrimination against solar, wind, or other small energy systems; procedures to provide adequate information to consumers; treatment of advertising expenses; procedures to protect ratepayers from abrupt termination of service.
