electric industry restructuring what is it
By Charles Bensinger. Simply put, electric utility restructuring is the process of establishing the ground rules for how electricity will be generated, bought, and sold for the next 20 to 50 years.Because the industry is so large, restructuring the power industry, in effect, amounts to restructuring the entire economy.hose assets or financial or contractual agreements belonging to a utility that are deemed nonrecoverable at present market prices are called stranded costs.. The total cost of these uneconomic investments is estimated at $200 billion-$300 billion nationwide.
