I Each agency considers a number of different factors in determining uhat are lawful rates. For many years the funda-mental facecr in setting electric rates was the " average cost" of producing, transmitting and distributing each unit of power sold, but the concept of "carginal cost"--the cost of produc-j ing additional units of power has also come to be considered. If a firm can produce 100,000 units of a prcdue:: at a cost of $100,000, the average cost par unit is $1; and $1 per
- unit t,culd be the unit price or rate based on average cost.
Assume that the came firm could produce enother 100,000 units of the sa=2 p r e _' uc t for only $50,000 more. The "carginal n - . .
^-
cost or prccucing the seconc. . ,,, L'C0 .'. o v , units vould 1.:2 9 3 0 , u Cs s^ , or $.50 per unic. The average cost of producing all 200,000 units vould be $.75 per unit. Hou migh t the fira price these 200,000 units for sale? Assume that it has been cble to sell all of the firs t 100,000 unico producac at a price of 51 e tch. :'ent assume that further demand for this product is highly price clastic and _that it could sell the second lGO,000 units only if it chargtd a price not c:::eeding $.60 per unit, and that there v o u l a. .ce no neu auyers at any pr.cc octueen p. . 00 ana. p. 4

1 i In the FPC proceeding, Applicant's wholesale rate to municipal distribution systen was shown to have been vir-tually identical for many years to its Corth Carolina retail and co==ercial rate--and the wholesale rate was actually higher than the retail rate from March 1971 on. */ This rate relationship is the result of the approval of rates by two different agencies--each purcuant to its own j urisdiction. The Federal Power Co nission approved each wholesale rate using the traditional, proper, fair regulatory principle of average cost, and the North Carolina Commission has accepted cach retail industrial rate bcsed upon the equally proper, cfficient regulatory principle of marginal cost. A number of small electric systems in Eorth and South Carolina intervened cnd csked the FFC to consider and rc=cdy, in deter =ining under Section 205 of the Federn1 Forar Act, the just, racconable and lawful reta fer Appliccnt'c firn uhoiccale pouer cales, the adverse effect on corpatition for large industrial loads resulting frca enis relctionchip between Applicant's wholesale and retail rates. $$/

The Federal Pouer Commission looked at some of the facts in the light of Section 205 of the Federal Power Act. Section 205 gives the FrC cuthority to determine the 1cufulness of rates charged by public utilitics for or in connection with the transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce and the sale of such energy at wholesale in interstcto commerce. It recuires that such rctos be just and rocsonable in order not to be unlauful. It prohibits undue preference or advantage, undue prejudice or disadventcge, and cny unreasonable difference in rates as between localitics or clacsca of service. The Ecard is cched to look at the fcets of the price squecce not in applying the Federci Pouer Act, but rather in enforcing an entirely different statute, Section 105c of the Atomic Energy Act, as amended. Section 105c requires the Bacrd to determine whether Applicenc's cetivitics under the licenses applied for zould create or mainccin a cituation inconsictent uith the entitrust Icuc--including, cs the Committec Report to the 1970 c=ced:ents cches clear (p. 16), inconsistency with the policios clocrly und2rlying thoce laws, i.e., avoidence of concpolicc and rectraints on free ~ dom of cc=potition.
