What is Ownership selection in the US electric utility industry about?
This paper examines municipal selection of ownership form at retail in the US electric utility industry from 1945 to 1991. Residents are assumed to select a rural electric cooperative (REC), municipally owned utility (MOU), or investor-owned utility (IOU) to maximize net benefits subject to exogenous rate setting constraints. Examination of 233 municipalities that changed ownership form, and 250 that did not, suggests that residents change ownership form to obtain lower rates, other things equal. In addition, access to federal power (MOU case only), growing municipal population, and a larger fraction of Republican-appointed regulatory commissioners increase the probability that residents change to an REC or MOU from an IOU, other things equal.
