Unlock the story behind early electrical rates and the rules that shaped public utilities.

This nonfiction collection distills practical debates from Rate Research, Volume 8, showing how 1915–1916 rate cases tackled cost, overheads, and fair pricing for electricity and related services.

This edition compiles real-world analysis and editorial perspective on how utilities set rates, debated cost allocation, and balanced public interest with business needs. It highlights how practitioners approached complex questions about overhead, preliminary expenses, and going value, offering a window into early regulatory thinking without assuming modern outcomes.

How rate design influenced consumer costs and utility revenue in the early days of electric service
The debate over allocating overhead and indirect expenses to products and services
Practical examples of cost accounting ideas, including preliminary expenses and going value
Insights into the regulatory processes that approved or adjusted tariffs and investments

Ideal for readers of historical business regulation, utility economics, and early 20th‑century industrial policy seeking concrete, non‑fiction context about how rates were analyzed and set.
