What is Deregulation?

What You Need to Know and Why it Matters

Energy deregulation presents a unique opportunity for both Energy Service Companies and energy consumers in certain states.  Deregulating energy markets allows for competition among suppliers, leading to cost savings and more options for residents. This creates a free market where customers have the power to choose their energy supplier and find the best rates and plans for their needs.

The Basics of Energy Deregulation in the US

Energy deregulation, also known as energy restructuring or utility deregulation, is the process of separating energy production and supply from distribution.

In traditional regulated energy markets, a single utility company controls all aspects of energy service – from production to delivery to consumers.

However, with energy deregulation, this monopoly is broken up and allows for competition among suppliers.

1978 - The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) encouraged competition in the energy market by allowing non-utility generators to enter the market.
1996: Order 888 requires utilities to open access to transmission lines for all energy suppliers.
2023: Over 20 states offer some form of level of energy deregulation to consumers.

For Homeowners, Customers and Communities

Energy deregulation empowers homeowners, customers, and communities to choose their energy suppliers. It offers competitive rates, green energy options, and customized services that match their consumption patterns.

Homeowners are no longer bound to local utility monopolies. Instead, they can choose from a variety of energy providers. This encourages a customer-centric approach, with companies aiming to provide excellent service, innovative solutions, and competitive pricing to retain their customers.

Communities, on the other hand, can benefit collectively by negotiating group rates or opting for local renewable energy sources, which not only lowers costs but also promotes sustainable practices.

For Businesses and Commercial Customers

Energy deregulation enables businesses and commercial customers to save costs and enhance efficiency. By comparing rates from different energy providers, businesses can keep their expenses competitive, resulting in substantial savings for energy-intensive industries like manufacturing and data centers.

Energy deregulation saves costs and allows businesses to choose renewable energy, aligning with sustainability goals. This boosts brand image and attracts socially conscious customers and investors in an era of increasing environmental responsibility.

Businesses can customize energy plans to suit their specific needs and consumption patterns. This may include demand-response programs, time-of-use plans, or other innovative solutions unavailable from traditional utility companies.
