Securitization

Securitization
  The act of pledging assets to a creditor through a note, lien or bond. This is a mechanism to allow a utility to recover stranded costs up front in a single lump sum payment. Under a securitization scheme, the legislature or utility commission orders customers to pay a surcharge as part of their electric bill. That surcharge must be paid within the utility's original service territory, regardless of who supplies the electricity to customers.
  ***
  A proposal for issuing bonds that would be used to buy down existing power contracts or other obligations. The bonds would be repaid by designating a portion of future customer bill payments. Customer bills would be lowered, since the cost of bond payments would be less than the power contract costs that would be avoided.
