The paper summarizes current institutions and spells out present legal oversight as divided between federal and state officials. Technological progress has pushed the efficient operational area beyond the geographic bounds that regulation has traditionally operated within; thus, transmission facilities often benefit a wider area than the regulatory jurisdiction where they are located. Regulation has not allocated risk well in the past. The paper catalogs regulatory or policy actions that indicate these two trends. Current restructuring objectives include expanded transmission access, improved transmission pricing, and expeditiously constructed transmission. Finally, pro-market, pro-merger and go-slow proponents of change are described. FERC's Transmission Task Force Report offers two strategies: prepare sweeping changes or reform in increments with obstacles removed as they arise.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101080,"journal":{"name":"Resources and Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0165-0572(92)90018-C","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79029169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With consumption subject to instantaneous control through price, spinning reserves would no longer be needed and emergencies could be dealt with with fewer blackouts.
