| Abstract: | Evaluating the environmental impacts of electric utilities is crucial for informed electrical system planning. This paper presents an approach to constructing an index of environmental impact for an electric utility, based on multiattribute utility theory (MAUT). The paper begins with an overview of decision analysis, the framework in which MAUT is applied. Next, the underlying assumptions and steps needed in constructing an index based on technical and value judgments are outlined. An example of an index is discussed. |
