Скачать или смотреть What Number Boosted California Electric Rates?

The cost of electricity is far above the ‘marginal cost’ to produce it. Nowadays, most of the cost involves financing, operations and maintenance of equipment. The value of all the equipment is the Rate Base, and in addition to all the other expenses the Investor Owned Utilities are allocated profits proportional to that number. California peak loads stopped growing in 2006, thanks to energy efficiency and rooftop solar. But for utilities the best business plan is to build regardless of need.
