Washington AP Ford plans national voluntary guidelines to help electric utilities raise rates in some cases as Congress resists mandatory increases. Officials say most rate hike proposals and subsidies likely will be dropped, with a Utilities Finance Corporation as a last resort. Voluntary rules would urge utilities to target 13 to 15 percent returns on invested capital, up from about 11 percent.
