Abstract

This paper argues that, given the economic and technological conditions in the US electric utility industry today, priving based on short-run marginal cost is more efficient than pricing based on long-run marginal cost. The historical justifications for pricing at long-run marginal cost are considered and short-run cost-based solutions suggested.
