Balancing shareholder and customer interests in incentive rate making
Journal Article
·
· Electricity Journal; (USA)
The regulatory community believes that there is far more economic potential for demand-side management and efficiency improvements than is currently envisioned and being pursued by utilities. A system of rewards for utility efficiency investments includes elements of customer equity, lost-revenue recovery, and an exponential incentive return for shareholders. To encourage greater utility investment in energy efficiency, we may need to make the profit on a kilowatt-hour saved equal or greater than profit on a kilowatt-hour consumed. This article focuses on a three-part proposal devised to encourage utilities to channel capital into lower cost efficiency investments. 4 tabs.
