Generating energy alternatives: conservation, load management, and renewable energy at America's electric utilities

David Cogan, Sean Williams

Abstract

A survey of the 120 largest electric utilities reveals an industry-wide trend to incorporate conservation and load management, with 86 having adopted formal conservation programs and 81 with formal load-management programs. Utilities will be increasing their purchases from decentralized systems using renewable or cogenerated energy. This book reviews the survey results and presents profiles on the alternative energy programs and any innovative financing arrangements of each. Four appendices identify the utilities and summarize survey data. 1 figure, 3 tables. (DCK)
