Title:  Marginal Capacity Costs of Electricity Distribution and Demand for Distributed Generation
Classification-JEL: F0
Pages:  111-130
Volume:  Volume16
Issue:  Number 2
Year:  1995
Abstract:  Marginal costs of electricity vary by time and location. Past researchers attributed these variations to factors related to electricity generation, transmission and distribution. Past authors, however, did not fully analyze the large variations in marginal distribution capacity costs (MDCC) by area and time. Thus, the objectives of this paper are as follows: (1) to show that large MDCC variations exist within a utility's service territory; (2) to demonstrate inter-utility variations in MDCC; and (3) to demonstrate the usefulness of these costs in determining demand for distributed generation (DG).
