System Conditions - The California ISO Zip Code The Energy Information Administration , offers details about energy deregulation. If you want to check out alternative energy providers in the San Diego area , then check out the Energy Guide web site or Wattage Monitor . They have listing of alternative energy providers. National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners has a listing of all the state commissioners. The web a great source of information, showing how to save energy. For example: the DOE has , the State of California has specific consumer information and the University of Southwestern Louisiana has no cost energy saving ideas If you like simple to understand things (like tax forms), then you may like the way This page like the rest of this site is a constant work in progress. Now that I installed a chat room, I hope people post their own opinions on energy deregulation and experiences with alternate utilities so I can tabulate the information (and post it for the benefit of all). To get the ball rolling so to speak, since I consider myself a green capitalist, I have mixed feeling about the unprecedented rise of gas and electrical prices in the San Diego area. On one hand I think the rise in energy prices is good because it will force people to adopt energy conservation habits long since ignored because energy costs do not really reflect the true cost to the environment and public health. On the other hand it is shocking to pay lots more money (than usual) for gas and electricity, money which could be used for cool capitalist toys and capital improvement.

THE TRADITIONAL hometown energy provider generated electricity, transmitted it across the grid and delivered it to customers in their franchise territory. The business was regulated by a state agency to ensure fairness in price to consumers while offering reasonable rates of return to investors.

5. Energy Menu : Introduction Help consumers and businesses take advantage of energy deregulation. http://www.energymenu.com/

ENERGY MENU site by gromco INTRODUCTION ELECTRICITY BASICS DEREGULATION ... LINKS INTRODUCTION Electricity is generated primarily by burning fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil, and to a lesser extent through nuclear fission, dams, solar power, etc. As power plants generate electricity, it is transported across long distance, hi-voltage transmission lines to numerous substations that convert it to lower voltage power for ultimate delivery to your home or business via local distribution lines. These components, along with an independent agency (ISO) that ensures reliability, make up the electric grid. Prior to deregulation, utilities controlled all aspects of this process and the consumer had no choice in who produced their power. Today utilities still control the transmission, distribution and metering of electricity, but they been forced to sell their power plants to create a new, competitive market for the actual production and generation of power.

6. Energy Deregulation Diary 2001 reality was at the time, California had one of the highest energy rates in the nation,and it was thought that so called deregulation would lower energy bills. http://www.phaster.com/unpretentious/sd_energy_info_2001.html

So far deregulation in California sucks, January 20, 2001 Wow whose stupid idea was deregulation? This past week we have had a few days of consecutive rolling blackouts in California, which makes it seem more like third world countries and former communist states than the so called golden state. Now I do not have to travel to interesting parts of the world to see the effects of poor resource management. Since I was luck enough to have the foresight to switch to an alternative energy provider when this mess began last summer, then find out that the alternative energy provider I selected itself become a victim of ill conceived deregulation (see my December 27, 2000 entry), I think I have a rough idea of what went wrong with so called deregulation. BTW this past week another alternative energy provider Utility.Com, a web energy provider pulls the plug on consumers After an unsuccessful presidential bid by Pete Wilson, another California politician Assemblyman Steve Peace in 1996 decided to make a name for himself and gathered the big industrial customers, utilities, and various interest groups together and somehow managed to get the legislature to unanimously pass an electricity restructuring bill. The reality was at the time, California had one of the highest energy rates in the nation, and it was thought that so called deregulation would lower energy bills. For a few years it worked, because it forced local utilities to sell off their power generation units under the restructuring bill, and the proceeds of the sales were used to lower rates for all utility customers.

12. Energy Deregulation And Restructuring energy deregulation and Restructuring. Frequently Asked Questions Aboutenergy deregulation and Restructuring. Glossary of Electricity Terms. http://www.texas-ec.org/legis/legis1.html

Energy Deregulation and Restructuring Change has come to Texas electric utilities, and some consumers in Texas can select the supplier of the generated electricity that they use in their homes and businesses. The Texas Legislature passed the restructuring bill with the hope that competition will result in lower cost and better service for consumers. Electricity will still be delivered by the current local utility through the same wires as it is today. Co-op members will continue to receive electricity over co-op lines even if the co-op chooses to enter the restructured market. It's just the power source that is the subject of electric restructuringor deregulation as it's also called. SB 7, the restructuring bill, required Texas' private investor-owned electric utilities (IOUs) to enter the competitive market on January 1, 2002. Cooperatives and municipally owned utilities have the option to compete or not. When Texas legislators approved electric restructuring in 1999 they recognized that member-owned electric co-ops and city-owned systems are locally based and that they operate under a democratic business model. Therefore they gave the co-ops and municipalities more options. When it comes to co-ops, each elected co-op board of directors will determine what path is best for their area's unique needs. Co-ops will be able to expand service into new territory

Frequently Asked Questions About Energy Deregulation and Restructuring Q: Are co-ops the only ones that have the flexibility to wait to decide whether to opt in? A: No. San Antonio, Austin, Brownsville, Lubbock and about 70 other municipalities are weighing their options, which are the same as the co-ops'. Q: Why aren't co-ops and municipally owned utilities required to compete as the investor-owned utilities are? A: Because when Texas legislators approved electric restructuring in 1999 they recognized that member-owned electric co-ops and city-owned systems are locally based and that they operate under a democratic business model. Co-op boards of directors and members must decide what path to take. Investor-owned utilities are dedicated to maximizing profits for their shareholders. The co-ops' goal, as it has always has been, is to serve you conscientiously and efficiently at the best possible cost. Q: When will my co-op make its choice?
