Description
The solution to the problem of peak load pricing, that is, the proper method for determining prices for peak and off-peak users, was succinctly presented by Professor Steiner in 1957 and, before that, by Boiteaux in France. While the theory indicates a possible solution to the major problems of gas pipeline rate regulation, the Federal Power Commission has ignored it. The limited discussion which follows is not intended as a critical analysis of the Boiteaux-Steiner solution, but merely as a demonstration of the theory's usefulness.
