Considerations For Closing The Moral And Legal Gap In Public Utility Regulation, E. Nathan Cheung
Considerations For Closing The Moral And Legal Gap In Public Utility Regulation, E. Nathan Cheung
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary
Many public utility commissions were originally created to regulate railroad companies. However, during the transition to the modern era their reach was greatly expanded to encompass the host of now regulated public industries. In more recent times, the role of the public utility commission has further expanded beyond regulation of specific industries to become tools to implement various policy goals and attitudes towards respective industries. Part II of this paper will seek to address different issues that may be encountered by the modern public utility commission. Part III of this paper seeks to present the concept of incentive regulation, which …

Microgrids: Legal And Regulatory Hurdles For A More Resilient Energy Infrastructure, Raquel Parks
Microgrids: Legal And Regulatory Hurdles For A More Resilient Energy Infrastructure, Raquel Parks
Pace Environmental Law Review
Natural disasters and climate change have made it apparent that energy infrastructure needs to be modernized and microgrids are one type of technology that can help the electricity grid become more resilient, reliable, and efficient. Different states have begun developing microgrid pilot projects including California, New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. The City of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is the first city to propose implementing “energy districts” of microgrids that will serve as critical infrastructure, in the first phase, and then expand to commercial and community settings. This large project involves many shareholders including public utilities, government agencies, and private entities. Utilizing microgrids …
Medicine As A Public Calling, Nicholas Bagley
Medicine As A Public Calling, Nicholas Bagley
Michigan Law Review
The debate over how to tame private medical spending tends to pit advocates of government-provided insurance—a single-payer scheme—against those who would prefer to harness market forces to hold down costs. When it is mentioned at all, the possibility of regulating the medical industry as a public utility is brusquely dismissed as anathema to the American regulatory tradition. This dismissiveness, however, rests on a failure to appreciate just how deeply the public utility model shaped health law in the twentieth century— and how it continues to shape health law today. Closer economic regulation of the medical industry may or may not …

Toward Legitimacy Through Collaborative Governance: An Analysis Of The Effect Of South Carolina's Office Of Regulatory Staff On Public Utility Regulation, William H. Ellerbe
Toward Legitimacy Through Collaborative Governance: An Analysis Of The Effect Of South Carolina's Office Of Regulatory Staff On Public Utility Regulation, William H. Ellerbe
Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review
In 2004 the South Carolina General Assembly instituted a major reform to its system of public utility regulation. Previously, the Public Service Commission, the administrative agency in charge of regulating public utilities, both adjudicated utility proceedings and, through its staff,a advocated for the public interest. A scandal concerning revelations of extensive ex parte communications between regulated utilities and members of the Public Service Commission led to the 2004 reform, which created the Office of Regulatory Staff (ORS) as a separate agency to perform the Commission's advocative functions. In my research, I use data on fuel factor proceedings before and after …

A Report On Utility Participation In Solar Energy Development, James P. Lough
A Report On Utility Participation In Solar Energy Development, James P. Lough
Duquesne Law Review
The promise of solar energy use in remedying the critical need for energy sources which provide alternatives to oil is the concern of this article. The author examines the role that utility companies could perform in the development and marketing of solar energy systems and considers the potential for anticompetitive abuse that might result. He concludes, however, that congressional plans for solar development have placed unfair, unwarranted, and counterproductive restrictions on utilities and may have precluded otherwise promising development.

Cost Adjustment In Utility Rate Schedules, Joe H. Foy
Cost Adjustment In Utility Rate Schedules, Joe H. Foy
Vanderbilt Law Review
For many years public utilities and regulatory commissions have been greatly concerned over the time and expense involved in proceedings relative to utility rates. Few types of legal proceedings are more complex, intricate and expensive than the full-blown utility rate case, with its myriad problems in valuation, economics, accounting, law and engineering. Particularly during inflationary periods, such as the present, mounting expenses of operation confront utilities and commissions with the dismal prospect of repeated applications for rate adjustment and formal hearings thereon. It is not surprising that techniques have been sought to simplify the rate making process, consistent with the …

Competitive Operation Of Municipally And Privately Owned Utilities, Charles M. Kneier
Competitive Operation Of Municipally And Privately Owned Utilities, Charles M. Kneier
Michigan Law Review
Public utility services for cities are usually provided on the principle of regulated monopoly. It has been found that by the very nature of the utility business, better service can be had and at cheaper rates by the use of one supplier rather than by the use of competing plants: This one plant having a monopoly of the business may be either privately or municipally owned. If the service is furnished by a privately owned utility, regulation is usually by a state commission, but in a few states regulation is still largely by the city in which the company operates. …

Michigan Law Review
The plight of the public utilities following the World War has been shouted in a babel of demands for increased rates from one and all. The public has turned a doubting or hostile ear to these demands, and the utilities have overwhelmed the utility commissions with a vast mass of evidence to prove their case. None seem to have been harder hit than the electric railways. Some have ceased to operate, automobiles have already made deep cuts in their revenues, and there are not wanting those who predict that the electric railways, operating on fixed tracks, are already out of …
