Energy Alternatives for California: The Current Crisis IV: Regulatory Aspects of Energy Policy,

Abstract

Some of the critical elements of governmental regulatory policy which, are likely to affect the availability and distribution of energy in California are discussed. Report focuses on regulation of natural gas, petroleum products, and electric power. Policy issues covered are: (1) Modification of the Federal Power Commission end use priority allocation policy; (2) the role of environmental standards in assuring adequate natural gas supplies -- or low sulfur petroleum substituted for California -- irrespective of a change in FPC end use policies; and (3) intrastate natural gas distribution policies, in the event that FPC end use priorities cannot be amended.
