Gotta keep that cost basis high to apply the ROR against! Build a big nuclear reactor paid for by the rate-payers pass go and collect 8-10% ROR!

There's actually little incentive to do this because increasing the cost basis usually costs more investor dollars.

Not if they get pre-approval in a rate case. Well and like the OP mentions it's often done by overlooking efficiency gains.
