Introduction
Regulation began in 1935
Consumers see utilities as last monopoly
States are making rapid changes
Yipee!

Introduction
Process ties closely to dereg of oil
Many models, all have effects on consumers
Needs of small consumers must balance w/ industrials ?

History Utility Life Cycle
First “power system” @ World’s Fair of 1893
First “utilities” were large consumers
Consumers diversified to provide power to others
Some were created by cities
![Page 5: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
HistoryUtility Life Cycle
Companies started by technologists
Large conglomerates formed by Industrialists
Federal government created authority to regulate
Consumers see limited risk and demand change
Those that adapt do well, those that don’t fail

HistoryFederal Regulation
Federal Power Act 1935– To restrict “undue discrimination”– “Natural Monopolies” due to geography
Public Utility Holding Company Act 1935– To regulate holding companies of local utilities– Unprecedented control & restrictions
![Page 8: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
History Federal Regulation
SEC: “purpose of PUHCA achieved. “ 1955
Public Utilities Regulatory Policy Act 1978– Promote domestic energy, particularly renewables– Utilities forced to buy “excess” power from cogen, etc.– Created Independent Power Producer (IPP)
![Page 9: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
History IPP
Generation to supply industrial heat & energy
Auxiliary power sold to utility at “avoided cost”– Utility: Price of fuel– IPP: Cost of new plant
Different interpretations = different rules in each case
![Page 10: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
HistoryAncillary Organization
State Commissions– Oversee utilities & approve expenditures
Quasi-government organizations– Provided service in underdeveloped areas– Some by mandate - TVA, SPA– Some by federal loans - Co-ops
Role will change under different set of regulations
![Page 11: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Parallels to OilCorrelations
Both industries had large, vertical integrated companiesGeneration ProductionTransmission PipelineDistribution Refining & Marketing
Many Independent Producers, few distributors
![Page 12: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Parallels to OilHow Oil looks today
Fewer producers Price dramatically reduced Separate “common carrier” pipelines purchase & resell Standards set by voluntary ad-hoc organizations
![Page 13: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Parallels to OilDifferences
OIL ELECTRICITY
Multiple Outlets Direct to CustomersDistributed Investment Centralized Plants
Generally, electricity market will stabilizeonce restrictions are released - just like oil.
![Page 14: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Industry Reorganization
Utilities will organize themselves along three linesGeneration - Transmission - Distribution
Individual risks are limited
Each entity can draw support from othersG

Darkness and Light
Historically, one entity responsible for all of system Now, each entity has its own competing concerns As system is pushed, reliability will suffer
![Page 17: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Observations from Western Outages
Transmission being stressed more than ever Not enough dynamic reactive support Events not been studied No one had “big picture”
![Page 19: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What We Can Expect from Future Operations
More stress on transmission as system is pushed Less “spinning reserve” for volt / freq support More conditions to study => more holes Entities focus on own business, no one w/big picture
?

Energy Policy Act of 1992
Free Access to transmission
Wholesale generation allowed
Ownership of foreign utilities
![Page 21: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Wheeling
Electricity from one system to another through third Nebraska sells to Oklahoma through Kansas Open Access
“nondiscriminatory access to transmission systems” Has opened market to freer competition in transmission Already seeing some effects
![Page 22: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Exempt Wholesale Generators (EWG)
“Engaged exclusively in making & selling at wholesale” Potentially more impact than wheeling Exempt from oversight: NEC, FERC & state Cannot sell to sister company w/o state approval
![Page 23: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Ownership of Foreign Utilities
Now own or invest in foreign utilities Major departure from vertically integrated history Activities w/o SEC approval Cannot “pledge or encumber” domestic assets Affects profitability & financial stability
![Page 24: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
SEC Proposals
Limited Repeal of PUHCA - proper state oversight Unconditional repeal of PUHCA More authority to exempt companies Maybe in 1998?
![Page 25: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
State Changes
More appropriate than Federales Each area has different needs Can respond quicker Interest in local economy, not national consensus
![Page 26: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
State Changes
At least 45 states have begun Two trends
Maintain regulator control of distributionRelease generation to market
Each has different time tables, Jan 1998 - ??? Areas w/ highest cost will move first
![Page 27: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Independent System Operator
California & New England have implemented Many other states following Charged w/
“ensuring efficient use & reliable operation of xmission”
![Page 28: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
ISO Gains operational control of transmission network
Open Access Distribution of tariffs Resolution of congestion Continued reliability
PROBLEM: No financial motivation to improve control & ops
![Page 29: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Power Exchange
Necessary for efficient trading of power No need for government charter or run NYSE, AMEX, Chicago Mercantile do this kind Competitive markets form own arenas of exchange
![Page 30: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Generation Models
Generators must be allowed free access to markets Several approaches have been proposed
Direct AccessPoolHybrid

Direct access does not allow for daily swings
Pool cumbersome, no stability of prices
Hybrid most impetus for responsive, viable
Hybrid what will exist if market is left alone

Oil for ElectricityRoyalty Comes to Utility
Landowner gets royalty from production Producer gets profit from remainder after expense Key clause: producer uses oil / gas w/o pay royalty Producer has “free fuel” even to make electricity
![Page 37: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Oil for ElectricityCreative Idea
Proposal to OCC: direct exchange of oil for use By-pass on-site investment, operating cost, taxes Permit oil & utility to agree on “barter” rate w/o regs Oil foothold into utility before others get access
![Page 38: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Oil for ElectricityAn Interesting Twist in Last Year
Large gas pipelines Formerly owned by holding co. & sole supply Fell under OCC & PUHCA - no creative for sisters New players: utility & pipeline can trade w/ anyone OCC regulates oil & utility - approve in principle
![Page 39: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Industry Models
Industry consortia of professionals develop standards Multiple producers sell to transporters Multiple transporters purchase from producers Few marketers distribute directly to customers Government regulation minimized to taxation
![Page 40: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Industry Models Segment companies
Suppliers, Transporters, Marketers Regulate during transition
Market will dictate long termValue of investment reduced after 3-5 years
Encourage free market agreementsAny transporter, any supplier, any marketer
Distribution by only a fewMost efficient because of geography
![Page 41: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
What About The Existing System?
Distribution: system will remain in place
Generation & Transmission: competition will balance out advantages
Aggressive companies:will enter overpriced market
![Page 42: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
What About The Existing System?
In the past, investments forced on utilities Some recovery must be allowed Must change accounting
from single-year to long-term
![Page 43: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
How Will This Affect Me (Us) ?
Much of push to deregulation comes from industrials No company can stay in business w/o profit If revenues reduced to one sector,
they must be raised in another As competition takes over,
production costs are reduced
![Page 44: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
What Happens To Costs?
Initially, upward movement More entities in supply chain,
each will have a margin Greater risk demands greater returns Trade-off:
more efficiency by reducing size of entities
![Page 45: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
What Happens To Costs?
More options Long term - more competitive market drive price down New technologies from striving for competitive edge
![Page 46: Electric Re-Regulation and Effects on Industrial Customers](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568167f5550346895ddd6ee6/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
ConclusionsRe-regulation is here
Regulation stymiescreativity, technology & economics
Competitive utilitieseventually lower costs
Must compensate old system decisions Benefit utilities & customers

Key
Competitive utility benefits all parties
Be careful, ill-crafted legislation is a burden
