Shared Services and Cost Allocation: A Brief Regulatory Insight

In a new publication, authors Wale Akanni and Joseph Weiss examine how shared services are commonly used to provide necessary business support to multiple regulated, and sometimes non-regulated operating affiliates.

Centralizing these functions can help utilities achieve benefits that the individual affiliates may not be able to realize on their own, and when designed and administered effectively, shared services can help utilities develop specialized expertise, realize economies of scale, eliminate redundancy, and standardize best practices across affiliated companies.
