• W1146690719 abstract "REGULATING PUBLIC UTILITY PERFORMANCE: THE LAW OF MARKET STRUCTURE, PRICING AND JURISDICTIONVery unlike such fundamental areas of legal study as the law of torts or contracts, public utility law cannot be well understood if studied as an inventory of fixed principles and cases. The core statutory provisions can be counted on one hand; they are broadly phrased and not much more than vessels into which evolving meaning has been poured as the industries they govern change. Perhaps more like antitrust law, public utility law calls for an appreciation of the dynamic nature of the industries to which it is addressed, and the unique economic history of the industrial sectors they comprise. Complicating matters further, public utility law is both reactive, in the sense that it responds to the issues and crises of the day, and normative, insofar as it is capable of altering the behavior of regulated entities, their customers, and associated stakeholders, and changing the very structure of the industries and individual companies subject to regulation.For something more than the past thirty years, a great deal of the ferment in public utility law has sprung from the introduction of competition into specific segments of the vertically integrated utility structure, and a reexamination of the regulation applicable to the industry segments that remain fully monopolistic, with the aim of facilitating fair competition. The impetus for this structural change came initially from the courts, applying antitrust theory to networked industries. This, of course, was the case with the Modification of Final Judgment issued in United States v. American Telephone & Telegraph Co. (AT&T), directing AT&T to divest itself of the Bell Operating Companies in order to ensure a competitive market for long distance service and customer equipment.1 And it was so in Otter Tail Power Co. v. United States, requiring transmission wheeling as a remedy for anticompetitive behavior and thereby paving the way for an open access transmission grid.2 Legislation has played a role, as with the creation of the independent power producer sector through section 210 of the Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act of 19783 and deregulation of natural gas production through the Natural Gas Policy Act.4 And regulatory agencies stepped into the mix in setting the ground rules for competition, from the Federal Communication Commission's Computer II inquiry to orders directing open access for competitive suppliers in the gas and electric sectors.5Scott Hempling's Regulating Public Utility Performance: The Law of Structure, and Jurisdiction, shows an acute appreciation for the history of economic regulation and the role that the courts and evolving regulatory theory have had in driving changes in these industries.6 The book was not written in a literary vacuum, of course, and it builds on a robust body of work upon which Hempling liberally relies.7 But Hempling's unique contribution to the literature, coming now over three decades into the competitive revolution, is to turn a discussion that once included competition and market structure as an afterthought, into the main event. The table of contents alerts the reader. Part One is entitled Market Structure: From Monopolies to Competition-Who Can Sell What to Whom while Part Two addresses Pricing and traditional regulatory concepts. The organization of the book quite literally turns the venerable Principles of Public Utility Rates8 on its head.Read once over, as a description of the current state of play, and as a story of the legal and regulatory milestones along the way, Regulating Public Utility Performance is well worthwhile. Hempling's approach is philosophical, the book is well-written, and the discussion proceeds from a thoughtful reflection on basic principles (the purpose and subject of regulatory law), to the characteristics of a retail monopoly, and on to the case for competition and its application to discrete segments of the telecommunications, gas, and electric sectors. …" @default.
