  • Abstract
    Rates charged for electric service are established pursuant to lengthy and complex public hearings before regulatory commissions. In designing individual rate schedules consideration must be given to factors affecting the cost of supplying the service, the value of the service to the user, and many other factors. Five basic rate forms, with many possible combinations thereof, are in common use. Adjustments are provided for variations in power factor, fuel cost, nominal supply voltage, and other factors.
