What happens when electric utility monopolies pursue their acquisition interests—undisciplined by competition, and insufficiently disciplined by the regulators responsible for replicating competition? Since the mid-1980s, mergers and acquisitions of U.S. electric utilities have halved the number of local, independent utilities. Mostly debt-financed, these transactions have converted retiree-suitable investments into subsidiaries of geographically scattered conglomerates. Written by one of the U.S.’s leading regulatory thinkers, this book combines legal, accounting, economic and financial analysis of the 30-year march of U.S. electricity mergers with insights from the dynamic field of behavioral economics.

Competition in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity is of increasing interest to policy makers as well as to buyers and sellers of power. The use of competition as a social policy tool to benefit consumers carries the necessity of preserving competition when it is threatened by mergers or other structural changes. The work explains central principles of antitrust economics and applies them to mergers in the electric power industry. This work focuses on mergers, but the economic principles explained here will be useful in analyzing many important issues flowing from growth of competition in electric power. For example, proper definition of markets and analysis of market power will be useful in decisions on whether to continue regulation.

Author Steven Ferrey highlights the importance of electric energy rules and legal restrictions that are replacing the traditional utility environment. Rather than focus on the trends of deregulation or concentrate on a particular area of electric energy, this book deals with transcendent issues, long-term rules, and structure of the electric industry. Ferry explains the three primary areas of change: Technology - the !hardware' of the industry Regulations at the federal level Changes at the retail level. No other book summarizes the regulatory changes and new rules now governing the electric marketplace (post-deregulation) in one volume. Ferry designed The New Rules to explain the regulations of the new electric marketplace to everyone from power business professionals to members of the academic sector.

With the Merger Policy Statement from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the last obstacle to movement toward deregulation in the electric utility industry, which began as far back as 1973, seemed to dissolve. Following the pattern from other regulated industries such as airlines, railroads, telecommunications, and banking, the Merger Policy Statement encouraged consolidation among electric utilities to counter the increased risk of bankruptcy brought by increased deregulation. Consolidation, while often viewed as stifling competition, is the natural reaction from a utility company dealing with an industry with new risks brought on by the bedeviling risk of deregulation. Yet, as played out in other industries, especially the airlines and railroads, the end result is an entire industry consolidated in only a handful of powerful companies.
