Electric and gas rates for the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors: 1990. Volume 2. Topical report, September 1989-March 1990

To perform evaluations of natural gas-fueled and competing energy technologies it is necessary to have complete, correct and up to date utility billing data. The rates in this study were collected from the utilities that serve the 45 cities involved in the study. These rates apply to the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors of service and include both general service and various innovative rate structures. The information compiled from the utilities was compared to data from other sources to ensure consistency. Additional contact was made with specific utilities to resolve observed conflicts of information. The construction of this data base satisfies both the immediate need for energy prices to compute operating costs and the longer-term requirement for the analysis of rate structures for characteristics and trends. Volume II includes rates for the South region (Appendix D) and the West region (Appendix E), known utility rate revisions (Appendix F), and 1988 utility sales data (Appendix G).
