Utility Self-Assess ment Bonds as Private-Public Tax Fix
The argument promotes Utility Self-Assessment bonds as a private sector fix for undercollections, with utilities paying taxes from profits rather than the state or ratepayers. If needed, rate increases may be sought, but profits and dividends should first cover taxes. PG&E paid 0.6 cents per kWh in 1999, a benchmark for tax costs. The outcome hinges on utilities choosing to fund the taxes, avoiding state ownership.
