Unlocking the Benefits of Restructuring: A Blueprint for Transmission

by Shimon Awerbuch, Leonard S. Hyman

Awerbuch, an independent economist, Hyman, Senior Industry Advisor to Salomon Smith Barney's Global Power Group, and Vesey, National Director of Transmission Services in Ernst & Young LLP's Utilities Consulting practice in New York City, are joined by other economists and engineers to discuss how a regulatory structure that connects profits to performance in the newly deregulated American electric utility industry will create a more efficient, dynamic, and customer-oriented system. This book provides a background to the function, policy, and structure of energy transmission; explains ways to design and run an independent transmission company; and supplies detailed descriptions of the obstacles to and benefits of decentralized market-based transmission control, the technical aspects of this process, and the practical issues in the field.
