Electricity FERC - 0 views

  • Regulatory Changes by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
  • FERC Orders 888 and 889
  • On April 24, 1996, FERC issued Orders 888 and 889, which encourage wholesale competition.  The primary objective of these orders is the elimination of monopoly power over the transmission of electricity.  To achieve this objective, FERC requires all public utilities that own, control, or operate facilities used for transmitting electric energy in interstate commerce to: file open access nondiscriminatory transmission tariffs containing minimum terms and conditions, take transmission service (including ancillary services) for their own new wholesale sales and purchases of electricity under open access tariffs, develop and maintain a same-time information system that will give existing and potential  users the same access to transmission information that the public utility enjoys, and separate the transmission from generating and marketing functions and communications.

  • Recovery of stranded costs is perhaps the most contentious issue confronting regulators in promoting competition.  Stranded costs (or assets) are costs that have been prudently incurred by utilities to serve their customers but cannot be recovered if the consumers choose other electricity suppliers. One study has estimated current stranded assets at $88 billion, and estimates of projected stranded costs range from $10 billion to $500 billion. In its Order 888, FERC reaffirmed "that the recovery of legitimate, prudent and verifiable stranded costs should be allowed." FERC's directive is grounded in the belief that the recovery of stranded costs "is critical to the successful transition of the electricity industry to a competitive, open-access environment." For this purpose, direct assignment of costs to departing customers was selected as the appropriate method for recovery of stranded costs.

Creative Destruction: GE's Brand New 100W Equivalent LED Bulb Illuminates the Future of... - 0 views

  • GE’s Brand New 100W Equivalent LED Bulb Illuminates the Future of Lighting May 7, 2012 Engineers at GE’s NELA Park in East Cleveland, Ohio, have spent a century building better light bulbs. When NELA opened in 1911, it became the world’s first industrial park, a distinction that earned it a place on the National Register of Historic Places. But now a new kind of history is taking place at NELA, the kind that will soon dispatch the incandescent light bulb down the same road traveled by the LP and the VCR. “This is an evolution,” says Glenn Kuenzler, a lighting engineer at NELA. He and his team of researchers are making sure that the GE bulb, whose legacy stretches back to Edison, is fit to survive.
