To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Second, large construction programs often require new equity financing. If the firm's stock is selling below book value at the time of sale, the current stockholders' equity position is diluted, and hence value is lost. Third, there is the risk that the plant will be cancelled and investors will be forced to bear the costs of cancellation. And fourth, there is significant risk when the plant is actually available for service. Electric utilities must plan their new construction programs well in ...advance of the time that the capacity will actually be needed. If demand growth turns out to be less than was expected, then the capacity of the plant may not actually be required, and the risk exists that the regulators will not place the plant in the rate base. Under these circumstances, the carrying cost of the plant must be borne by the investors rather than the customers. Further, even if the capacity of the new plant is needed, regulators, to avoid "rate shock," may not grant a full and immediate cash return on the plant, choosing instead to phase the plant into the rate base and hence to delay the return.
