Economic Regulation of Utility Infrastructure
4 Economic Regulation of Utility Infrastructure Janice A. Beecher ublic infrastructure has characteristics of both public and private goods and earns a separate classification as a toll good. Utilities demonstrate a Pvariety of distinct and interrelated technical, economic, and institutional characteristics that relate to market structure and oversight. Except for the water sector, much of the infrastructure providing essential utility services in the United States is privately owned and operated. Private ownership of utility infrastructure necessitates economic regulation to address market failures and prevent abuse of monopoly power, particularly at the distribution level. The United States can uniquely boast more than 100 years of experience in regulation in the public in- terest through a social compact that balances and protects the interests of inves- tors and ratepayers both. Jurisdiction is shared between independent federal and state commissions that apply established principles through a quasi-judicial pro- cess. The commissions continue to rely primarily on the method known as rate base/rate-of-return regulation, by which regulators review the prudence of in- frastructure investment, along with prices, profits, and performance. Regulatory theory and practice have adapted to emerging technologies and evolving market conditions. States—and nation-states—have become the experimental laborato- ries for structuring, restructuring, and regulating infrastructure industries, and alternative methods have been tried, including price-cap and performance regu- lation in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. Aging infrastructure and sizable capital requirements, in the absence of effective competition, argue for a regula- tory role. All forms of regulation, and their implementation, can and should be Review comments from Tim Brennan, Carl Peterson, Ken Costello, David Wagman, and the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy are greatly appreciated. -

An Overview of Pucs for State Environment and Energy Officials – May 20, 2010 2 Adopted IRP Requirements
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency State Climate and Energy Technical Forum Background Document An Overview of PUC s for State Environment and Energy Officials May 20, 2010 Public utility commissions (PUCs) regulate electric, gas, telecommunications, water and waste water utilities. In most states a single agency will regulate these sectors; however, in some states these functions may be split between more than one agency. Commissioners are typically appointed by the governor and generally serve 4 to 6 year terms, although in approximately one quarter of the states commissioners are elected. As a general rule, utility commissions are charged with assuring that utilities provide reasonable, adequate and efficient service to customers at just and reasonable prices. Utility regulation takes many forms, including price regulation, resource planning and acquisition, reliability and quality of service regulation. PUCs typically regulate all investor-owned utilities (IOUs) in their state. Municipal and cooperative utilities are often exempted from PUC regulation or have limited regulation. Focusing on electric utility regulation, this document will explore the responsibilities of PUCs, their decision making processes, how their decisions can affect clean energy1 and air quality. Background Electric Utility Market Structure Throughout most of the 20th century, electric utilities were regulated monopolies, with utility companies owning the generation, transmission and distribution assets for their service territory (this model is referred to -
What the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission Regulates
What the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission Regulates The PUC has jurisdiction over 11 electric distribution companies who serve the majority of the Commonwealth. Rural electric cooperatives and most utilities owned and operated by cities, boroughs or townships are not regulated by the Commission. For information on these, contact the electric co-op, Pennsylvania Rural Electric Association, or your municipality. The PUC has jurisdiction over 25 gas utilities. It does not have jurisdiction over bottled propane gas, and most utilities owned and operated by cities, boroughs, or townships. For information on these, contact your local municipality or the state Attorney General’s Office. The PUC has jurisdiction over intrastate, local, toll and access telephone services and providers. The Commission does not regulate broadband, wireless, or cable TV companies. For more information on these, contact your local municipality about cable TV problems or the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The PUC regulates motor carriers that transport property, passengers and household goods such as taxis, moving companies, limousines. It also conducts motor vehicle, railroad facility, and track inspections. The Commission also regulates Transportation Network Companies such as Uber and Lyft. Note: Taxis, limousines and Transportation Network Companies operating in Philadelphia are regulated by the Philadephia Parking Authority, not the PUC. The PUC’s Pipeline Safety Division conducts inspections on pipelines operated by public utilities that fall under PUC jurisdiction and ensures compliance with state and federal safety regulations. The PUC enforces federal and Commission pipeline safety regulations as they apply to public utilites providing natural gas distribution and intrastate transmission service, and public utilities providing intrastate transmission of hazardous liquids. -

The Public Utility Idea and the Origins of Modern Business Regulation
CHAPTER 4 Th e Public Utility Idea and the Origins of Modern Business Regulation WILLIAM J. NOVAK Th is essay concerns one of the more remarkable innovations in the history of democratic attempts to control the American corporation. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries— aft er the series of impor tant changes in corporation law described in previous essays in this collection1— lawyers, economists, legislators, and demo cratic reformers pieced together a new regime of modern business regulation. At the center of that proj ect was the idea of the “public utility” or “public ser vice” corporation. While most legal- historical accounts of government- business relations in this period trumpet the overriding signifi cance of antitrust or antimonopoly policy,2 the legal invention of the public ser vice corporation and the public utility was to some extent even more signifi cant for the future democratic control of the American corporation. For, in many ways, the modern Amer- ican administrative and regulatory state was built directly on the legal foun- dation laid by the expanding conception of the essentially public ser vices provided by corporations in the dominant sectors of the American economy: for example, transportation, communications, energy supply, water supply, and the shipping and storage of agricultural product. In law, the original architects of the administrative state, the authors of the very fi rst casebooks, and the teachers of the fi rst classes on administrative and regulatory law— people like Bruce Wyman, Felix Frankfurter, and, ultimately, James Landis— basically cut their teeth on the legal, po liti cal, and economic prob lems posed by public ser vice corporations and public utilities per se. -

A Security Standard for AMI Smart Meters 1
A Security Standard for AMI Smart Meters 1 Coalton Bennett Darren Highfill Stephen B. Wicker [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Our first objective in writing this paper is to identify and Abstract-- There is a growing interest in ‘Smart Grid’ review certain communication technologies that we believe technologies in both industry and academic circles. Few attempts are critical for future demand response systems. Our second have been made to develop a written specification consummated objective is to provide a basis from which industry and with standards agreed upon by members of both coteries, due to lack of government support. Utilities in the state of California are academic participants can draw upon as a reference guide obligated, by state legislature, to create a more: efficient, reliable, when implementing, testing, and or simulating a demand and intelligent electric power system. This initiative along with response system. The components, we have chosen to include Florida Power & Lighting’s ‘Smart Grid’ pilot program has in the demand response system description, are by no means created a sense of exigency within the industry regarding smart standard components, however the UCAIug1 has considered grid technologies and standardizations. Their accomplishments these components to be an integral part of any demand are beginning to shape the policies and standards with marginal input from academic societies, ushering in a very lopsided, and response system. Even though we will reference material, business acclimatized set of standards. We will present and which has yet to be approved by an official standards body analyze, a SCE ‘Smart Grid’ use case, in which the utilities back such as IEEE, we feel confident that most utilities, many of office applications interact with the customer’s meter, and which have contributed to the development of this material, provide technical recommendations for system security will adopt a similar AMI system design if they haven’t improvements. -

ElectricityElectricity When there is an outage, the productivity losses to commercial and industrial customers can be tremendous, ranging from thousands to millions of dollars for a single event. The cost to manufacturing facilities can be even higher. More and more commercial and industrial customers are purchasing or renting generators to provide backup power in case their electric service is interrupted. Today, even voltage dips that last less than 100 milliseconds can have the same effect on industrial process as an outage that lasts several minutes or more. ⇒ High Quality electricity deliverydelivery is a critical need, and the infrastructure needed
