Using Consensus Building to Improve Utility Regulation

This book traces the decline of consensus in utility regulation and delineates current controversies. It presents the theory and practice of alternative dispute resolution in utility regulation and offers a framework for evaluating the successes and failures of attempts to employ these processes. Four regulatory cases are analyzed in detail: the Pilgrim nuclear power plant outage settlement; the use of DSM collaboratives; the New Jersey resource bidding policy; and the formation of integrated resource management rules in Massachusetts.Raab, Jonathan is the author of 'Using Consensus Building to Improve Utility Regulation', published 1994 under ISBN 9780918249197 and ISBN 0918249198.
