Unlocking the Benefits of Restructuring: A Blueprint for Transmission

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.
