Abstract

Compared to other industries, energy utilities spend an extremely low portion of their revenues on research and development. Since restructuring of the electric and natural gas industries, collaborative research by energy utilities has declined sharply. Yet, collaborative research has been an important part of R&D in the energy utilities industries, with documented benefits to consumers and society at large. Should the incentives be changed to encourage greater R&D spending?
