PURPA: federal energy policy impacting on the state regulatory domain

R.D. Ain

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Mr. Ain feels that the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) represents a new way for the federal government to intrude into the state regulatory process. Title I of PURPA is used to illustrate the impact of this intrusion. Background information covers President Carter's energy concerns upon taking office and the legislative response as Congress has developed federal policies for states to implement and federal law to enforce. The author concludes that state rate determination will not be federalized, although it is not yet known whether PURPA will result in any energy savings. (DCK)
