Abstract
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 mandated that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission develop incentives to enhance investment in transmission. In Order 679 FERC authorized the use of rate-of-return “adders” as an incentive mechanism, and it has subsequently approved them in individual proceedings. The evidence suggests that such adders are unlikely to be effective tools for enhancing investment.
