electric utility avoided costsSloveniaThe evaluation of economic effects of power-conservation measures due to electric utility avoided-costs in Slovenia is described. A procedure for estimating the long-term marginal costs of public utilities is developed. We evaluate the economic effects of deferrals ...
The article focuses on the concept of avoided costs in the U.S. electricity industry. It was first introduced through the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) in 1978 as the industry assumes new technologies. Under PUPRA, electric utilities were required to buy power from non-utility...
The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) of 1978 requires electric utilities to offer to purchase electric energy generated by qualifying cogeneration facilities and small power producers, with power purchase rates based upon the full avoided costs of the utility - a rule set by the ...
