  33. Regulation • State commissions are responsible for determining utilities’ proper rate bases and allowable operating expenses. Individual states’ rulings often differ with regard to these determinations. They also differ in allowed accounting treatments for depreciation accruals and investment tax credits. Although rulings are often presumed to be based solely on the public interest, commissions actually seek to provide a balance between investor and consumer interests.

  34. Green Policy (Update) • On June 26, 2009, the House of Representatives passed, by a narrow 217–205 margin, its version of a new energy bill, H.R. 2454. Included in the bill, called the American Clean Energy and Security Act, 2005–2050, were provisions for a cap-and-trade system that would incrementally reduce GHG emissions, beginning with a cap on 2012 emissions that is 3% below 2005 levels. The bill, whose principal sponsor was Henry Waxman (D.–California), also included a requirement that utilities get 15% of their electricity from renewable energy sources and, through increasing their energy efficiencies, reduce their electricity use 5% by 2020. Individual states, however, would be allowed to vary these two percentages as long as the total came to 20%.
