The determination of whether a rate structure is expected to do an excellent, good, fair, or poor job of meeting each criterion is based on general observation. It is entirely possible, for example, that for a particular utility, an increasing block rate will recover revenues every bit as well as a uniform rate structure. The increasing block rate structure does not receive as high a rating in this evaluation, however, because it has been traditionally observed that revenue uncertainty is more likely to occur using this type of structure than a uniform structure for a majority of utilities.
