“…As in many other commodity markets, strong scale economies due to large sunk costs coexist with decreasing transmission and distribution costs (Christensen and Greene, 1976;Thompson 1997). In addition, the perceived homogeneity of electricity hinders the development of distinct preferences among audience members.…”

First, the demise of near-center producers crystallizes the difference among classes of organizations which benefits the market success of peripheral producers. Second, individual peripheral producers that face an audience that values their identity claims and exhibit credible engagement with their claimed identity, encounter greater market success. Our contributions to the literature are discussed.

“…We consider the following outputs: low-voltage sales (residential and commercial), high-voltage sales (industrial), and sales for resale to other utilities. A firm's cost of supplying power to final consumers is affected by the type of customer it serves (Roberts, 1986;Thompson, 1997). High voltage sales incur less transmission costs than low voltage sales due to reduced operating and maintenance costs.…”

This paper analyzes how economic deregulation impacts firm strategies and environmental quality in the electric utility industry. We find evidence that the deregulation introduced to this historically staid industry has stimulated environmental differentiation. Differentiation is most likely to appear where its point of uniqueness is valued by customers, and we confirm this relationship in our sample. Specifically, utilities that served customers who exhibited higher levels of environmental sensitivity generated more ‘green’ power. The tendency for firms to differentiate in this way is lessened if they are relatively more dependent on coal‐fired generation or relatively more efficient. Thus, there is evidence that firms sort themselves into either differentiation or low‐cost strategies as the competitive realities of a deregulated world unfold. Deregulation and the ensuing environmental differentiation illustrate how utilities exploited formerly unmet customer demand for green power. The result has been greater levels of renewable generation and, hence, a cleaner environment. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…As discussed in Robert (1986), Salvanes and Tjφota (1994) and Thompson (1997), the cost function should take into account differences in network characteristics, load factor and other factors that are unrelated to cost-efficiency but affect the costs. The specification used here draws basically from the model used by Filippini (1998).…”
