An Edison Electric Institute (EEI) ad campaign opposing utility regulation is called alarmist by the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC), which is issuing counter-ads to give ratepayers the opportunity for a balanced view. The $2.5 million EEI campaign has used numerous public figures in a call for utility rate relief to save the industry from impending failure. NARUC questions EEI's premises and notes that higher rates were granted in 1981 than in previous years and that utility revenues have increased despite declining sales. (DCK)
