Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the critical issues surrounding the pricing of public utilities, specifically focusing on the essential but often complex topic of cost of service. The author, a respected energy and economics expert, provides a comprehensive analysis of the various approaches to determining fair and reasonable rates for services such as electricity, gas, water, and telecommunications. The book traces the historical development of utility regulation and explores the interplay between public and private interests in shaping rate-making policies. It examines the different types of utility companies, their cost structures, and the challenges in allocating costs fairly among customers. The author argues that a thorough understanding of cost of service is crucial for ensuring both the financial viability of utilities and the protection of consumers from excessive charges. The book's insights are particularly valuable in the current era of rapid technological change and increasing demand for utility services. By providing a clear and accessible explanation of the principles and practices of cost-of service regulation, this book empowers readers to engage critically with the complex issues surrounding utility pricing and make informed decisions about the future of essential public services. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
