Incorporating uncertainty into electric utility projections and decisions

Hanson, D.A. - 2008

This paper focuses on how electric utility companies can respond in their decision making to uncertain variables. Here we take a mean- variance type of approach. The mean'' value is an expected cost, on a discounted value basis. We assume that management has risk preferences incorporating a...
