摘要: Future environmental requirements are an important component of investment risk for long-lived facilities such as electric power plants. Yet the industry's current regulatory compact discourages proactive investments, and thus encourages suboptimal long-term compliance strategies. This paper develops indicative estimate resulting inefficiency by analysing a typical US system. It argues that market-oriented reform can encourage management utilities.
