In theory, deregulating the electricity market would increase the efficiency of the industry by producing electricity at lower costs and passing those cost savings on to customers. As Electricity Deregulation shows, successful deregulation is possible, although it is by no means a hands-off process-in fact, it requires a substantial amount of design and regulatory oversight. This collection brings together leading experts from academia, government, and big business to discuss the lessons learned from experiences such as California's market meltdown as well as the ill-conceived policy choices that contributed to those failures. More importantly, the essays that comprise Electricity Deregulation offer a number of innovative prescriptions for the successful design of deregulated electricity markets. Written with economists and professionals associated with each of the network industries in mind, this comprehensive volume provides a timely and astute deliberation on the many risks and rewards of electricity deregulation. 410 0$aBush School series in the economics of public policy ;$vv. 4. 606 $aElectric utilities$xDeregulation$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aElectric utilities$xDeregulation 676 $a333.793/2/0973 701 $aGriffin$b James M.$f1944-$0283649 701 $aPuller$b Steven L$0975597 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457019203321 996 $aElectricity deregulation$92221463 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01630nam 2200385I 450 001 9910702482003321 005 20130108071355.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002427346 035 $a(OCoLC)823591535 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002427346 100 $a20130108d2012 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aHuman capital $ethe Department of Health and Human Service's and Environmental Protection Agency's use of special pay rates for consultants and scientists : testimony before the Subcommittee on Health, Committee on Energy and Commerce, House of Representatives /$fstatement of Robert Goldenkoff [and one other] 210 1$a[Washington, D.C.] :$cUnited States Government Accountability Office,$d2012. 215 $a1 online resource (19 pages) $ccolor illustrations 225 1 $aTestimony ;$vGAO-12-1035T 300 $aTitle from title screen (viewed Dec. 26, 2012). 300 $a"For release ...
