Econsult was retained by a Public Utilities
Commission to analyze a variety of issues related to the
sale of generation assets. Issues addressed include: a
general assessment of market power; the impact of
bundling on market power; the assessment of sales value;
and, the effect of a renewable capacity constraint.
Econsult staff met with key legislative leaders to
discuss findings and recommendations.
Econsult staff were retained by the Inter-American
Development Bank to evaluate the establishment of the
Office of Utilities Regulation [Jamaica] to determine
whether the program had achieved its stated objectives
and the extent to which it had achieved its purpose of
fostering effective regulation and establishing an
environment conducive to private participation.
Econsult staff analyzed the potential cost savings
arising from the merger of two electric utility
companies. The analysis employed three approaches
including a function-by-function review of potential
cost reductions; a study of savings achieved from actual
mergers; and, a statistical model of potential
efficiency. The analysis was presented in testimony on
the benefits and costs of the proposed merger.
Econsult provided assistance in the development of
testimony regarding the provision of universal service.
The emphasis was on the evaluation of the CAP programs
and the potential expansion of universal service based
upon the need for these programs.
Econsult was engaged by counsel on behalf of a
cogenerator to determine an appropriate access price and
present testimony on issues related to competition and
stranded costs before the PSC in order to secure a
certificate of convenience and necessity which would
allow the cogenerator to sell electric and steam energy
outside its site on Long Island.
