Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Electric Power: Contemporary Issues And

The Federal Role In Oversight

And Regulation



Electric power will play an important role in
the Nation's energy picture, but rapidly
inc easing fuel prices, lower growth rates, and
dif iculties in developing large powerplants
have made it difficult for electric utilities to
prqvide adequate supplies of power at prices
the public is willing to pay.
This report provides the Congress with a dis-
cussion of


--important issues in electric power regu-
  lation and management,
  .-recent GAO reports on some of those
  issues, and
  --questions and observations about power
  system planning and development which
  deserve Federal attention.
  specifically highlights important electric
:wer issues which transcend State, regional,
ld utility decisionmaking and identifies for
p Congress significant areas which should be
insidered when making decisions affecting
electric power industry.
