This paper reports that in response to various energy-related problems that surfaced during the late 1970s, Congress passed legislation to encourage the development of cogeneration and small power production. The legislation was entitled the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, or PURPA. Responsibility for implementing PURPA was assigned to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The FERC in turn delegated much authority for administering PURPA to the state public utility commissions. Purchase prices for power generated by qualifying facilities (QFs) were to represent the utilities avoided cost.
