The Economics of Electricity Transmission
 James
Bushnell, Research Director of the University of
California Energy Institute and lecturer at the
Haas School of Business, University of
California, Berkeley, lectured at Colgate
University on the economic effects of energy
transmission on Thursday, October 26th
He focused on the
economic forces behind the expansion of our
nation’s electricity network as it has evolved
from serving local regulated utilities to
forming the backbone of a network carrying
energy
between regional deregulated markets.
Transmission lines are often met with strong
resistance by the public, while energy companies
and
federal and state regulators fear that without a
robust expansion of our electricity grid,
the reliability and efficiency of our
electricity system will be at risk.
