OverviewDeregulation, competition, and industry restructuring are changing the production and delivery of electric power in the United States, both for investor-owned and municipally owned utilities. The largest U.S. municipal utility, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP), asked RAND to consider possible changes in governance that could improve its decisionmaking and operations while maintaining public ownership. The authors found that the DWP would benefit from simplification and streamlining, whether or not the city's electricity market is opened to competition, which many business, labor, and government stakeholders view as inevitable. The report delineates three governance options for DWP: a city-owned corporation, an independent city agency with a strong governing board, and modifications of the existing departmental structure. While the final decision is up to the Los Angeles city council and ultimately the voters, this report is intended to stimulate informed public discussion and debate. ds Full Product DetailsAuthor: Walter Baer , Edmund Edelman , James Ingram III , Sergej MahnovskiPublisher: RAND Imprint: RAND Dimensions: Width: 16.10cm , Height: 0.50cm , Length: 22.70cm Weight: 0.131kg ISBN: 9780833028419ISBN 10: 0833028413 Pages: 64 Publication Date: 08 May 2000 Audience: Professional and scholarly , Professional & Vocational Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Out of stock  The supplier is temporarily out of stock of this item.
