Power firms' fragmentation costs energy in US
Pennsylvania State University economist John E. Tilton and co-author John H. DeYoung Jr. argue that the U S electric power industry is fragmented into about 1000 companies, raising costs and slowing technology adoption. They say mergers could boost economies of scale, allowing large efficient fossil-fuel generators to cut fuel and electricity costs. Smaller utilities fear large-unit failures and back-up capacity needs, hindering adoption.
