Electric Utility Rate Design Study: an evaluation of reconciliation procedures for the design of marginal cost-based time-of-use rates

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5742311
A number of methods that have already been proposed for reconciling the difference between revenues with rates set at marginal costs and those revenues that would result from the prescribed accounting procedures is addressed. Two distinct but related reconciliation problems are addressed. The first relates to how the overall revenue difference is spread across customer classes while the second relates to how marginal costs are used to design rates which match the revenue target for each class.
