If you don't have a choice now, you will soon Shocking, really. But that situation isn't going to last much longer. As the telecom industry did in the 1980s, the U.S. electricity industry is now undergoing deregulation. State utility commissions are unplugging their tight control on rates and allowing a range of new energy providers to enter the field. For consumers the process hasn't been uniformly smooth. This past summer electricity users in San Diego and New York City were stung by price spikes after regulators removed long-standing rate caps as part of the deregulation process. Still, within five years, 90% of U.S. consumers will be able to choose where and how they buy their watts and volts, according to the Yankee Group, a research and consulting firm in Boston.

The Energy Activist Oregon Passes Landmark Energy Deregulation Bill Lawmakers put consumers, most vulnerable households first After three years of tireless effort, Oregon's Fair and Clean Energy Coalition (FCEC) succeeded this year in passing the nation's most progressive energy deregulation bill. Signed into law by Governor John Kitzhaber in late July, SB1149 will protect every Oregon consumer and will make $10 million per year available for bill payment assistance. The bill will also infuse over $50 million every year into statewide investments in low income weatherization, other energy conservation measures, and new renewable resource development. "The signing of SB 1149 marks the end of a three-year process to produce a landmark consumer and environmental bill," said Jeff Bissonnette, FCEC's organizing director. Jason Eisdorfer, a lawyer for the Citizens Utility Board of Oregon said SB1149 is distinct from energy deregulation adopted in other states. "What it does not do is throw residential customers out into the market and hope a market develops," said Eisdorfer to the Eugene Register-Guard. SB1149 allows business and industry to shop for power on the open market without forcing residential electricity consumers to give up the service they currently receive. Under SB1149 residential electricity customers can choose service based on the market price of power, opt for an environmentally friendly or green power product, or stick with what they already have.

AmerenEnergy AmerenEnergy Home Page Senior Management Bios Energy Management Energy Trading ... Contact Energy Ameren Energy What Is Energy Deregulation? Deregulation of the energy industry means you will have the power to choose who supplies your energy. Historically, public power utilities were vertically integrated companies which owned the entire supply chain including production, high volume transportation, and locally delivered distribution of electricity and gas. With deregulation, these functions will become unbundled. Initially, only certain pieces of this supply chain will be opened to a competitive market. In deregulated markets, the local utility company will continue to deliver energy to customers through their wires and pipes, but you will be able to purchase the actual electricity and natural gas that flows through these facilities from a provider of your choice. You would continue to pay a set regulated fee to use the local utility company wires and pipes to transport the energy to your location. This deregulation process is evolving at a different pace in each state and customer segment. Natural gas deregulation began with deregulation for industrial and commercial customers in the mid-1980's, giving heavy retail energy consumption customers the first opportunity to choose an alternative energy supplier. Electricity deregulation differs in its phased approach, which has opened access on a state-by-state basis to industrial, commercial and residential customer segments.

Article Archive Energy Issues Publication Date: Winter 1998 Energy Deregulation Update Following the nationwide trend to promote lower prices through competition, the State of New York is deregulating natural gas and electricity. In June 1998, pursuant to a procedure orchestrated by the Public Service Commission (PSC), the deregulation of electricity will begin in New York City with a pilot program designed to encourage customers to buy up to 500,000 megawatts of electricity from independent sources. Energy Service Companies, called ESCOs, will aggregate the purchasing power of many clients, making it possible for even the smallest customers to participate. Those interested must commit to this program during April 1998, and, since it is impossible to predict the level of interest, provision is made for a lottery to select participants if the pilot is oversubscribed. Cover of Con Ed Pamphlet Con Edison has described this opportunity fully in an insert with all March bills (click here or on the photo at right to link to full text of the pamphlet); its TV commercial has a postman alerting customers to read this brochure, which offers an incentive to customers who leave Con Edison and commit to purchasing their electricity from an independent ESCO.

Article Archive Energy Issues Publication Date: Winter 1999 ENERGY DEREGULATION UPDATE In June 1998, pursuant to a procedure orchestrated by the Public Service Commission, a five year march towards deregulation of electricity began in New York City with a pilot program that enabled a certain number of customers to buy electricity from independent energy service companies (ESCOs). ESCOs are not regulated, and the Public Service Commission cannot mediate any disputes that arise between customers and energy providers, but the Public Service Commission is responsible for determining which ESCOs may sell in New York. Entities billed directly by the utility company received bills showing a "shopping credit", which is the portion of the bill (about 25%) attributable to the purchase of energy. Customers were encouraged to take this part of their business to an ESCO. Deregulation will never affect the remaining 70% of the electric bill; this is the cost for transmission and distribution of electricity to the customer, which continue to be Con Edison's responsibility in New York City and Westchester County. A quirk in the law provided an instant benefit with Phase 1 of deregulation, since transmission costs were not subject to State tax once they were unbundled from the actual purchase of power. Furthermore, to ensure the success of the initial phase, incentive payments helped persuade individuals to take part in that program. These factors combined to guarantee a savings of 2% to 5% on deregulated energy purchase in Phase 1.

GJF Home CRP Home How to do corporate research What CRP can do ... Corporate Research E-Letter Corporate Research E-Letter No. 11, April 2001 Energy Deregulation: Lessons from the Golden State by Mafruza Khan In a few short weeks during the summer of 1996, the California legislature rushed through AB1890, the energy deregulation bill that is now being regarded as a colossal failure by all and blamed for the state's ongoing energy crisis. As one writer comments, "If California's misbegotten electricity deregulation scheme is ever reduced to canvas or film, the artist would have to be some cross between Hieronymus Bosch and Federico Fellini. At one level, it is a surreal story of grossly compounded economic errors, at another, a gruesome morality tale." It isn't very hard to understand why AB1890 did not work it was based on wrong assumptions, incorrect forecasting and manipulated by corporate executives and politicians. The consequences of the bill - in addition to up to a 46 percent rate hike for consumers, $4.6 billion in taxpayer monies spent by the state to pay for electricity in the spot market, and a backlash on environmental regulations, including a resurgence of nuclear power - remain to be seen (and felt) in the future. It has also led to the largest investor-owned utility bankruptcy filing in history (the third-largest corporate bankruptcy filing ever) by Pacific Gas and Electric Company.

Corporate Research E-Letter Corporate Research E-Letter No. 12, May 2001 Energy Crisis: From the Golden State to the Region by Mafruza Khan Besides their economic connection, the Western states are connected by the infrastructure of the Western Power Grid, which distributes power to 11 states and two Canadian provinces. High prices in one part of the West ultimately translate into higher prices throughout the region. The arrangement that the Pacific Northwest has generally had with California is that, in the summer when demand is high in California but low in the other states, California imports electricity produced by the 30 federal dams in Idaho, Oregon, Washington and western Montana. In winter, when loads are higher in the Northwest, California sends power up to the region. The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), a federal agency, based in Portland, markets about 50 percent of this power. (Others include the Western Area Power Administration.) BPA was created in 1937 to market the power from dams built during the Depression to aid economic development in the then-isolated region. Until recently, BPA had been sending California electricity in an exchange arrangement that returned to the Northwest 2 megawatts of power for every megawatt delivered. BPA owns 80 percent of the region's transmission lines, more than 15,000 miles, and sells power to 18 customers in the state that include, nine rural cooperatives, seven municipalities, the Bureau of Reclamation and Idaho Power Company. The agency produces 40 percent of the electricity in the Northwest.

North America Fallout from energy deregulation continues Californians hit by sharp rise in electricity rates By Gerardo Nebbia 26 May 2001 Use this version to print Send this link by email On May 15 the California State Public Utility Commission (PUC) approved a sharp increase in retail electricity prices, which will result in most consumers paying between 12 and 47 percent higher rates. Beginning in June, residents and businesses in the state will pay $5.7 billion more for electricity in what amounts to a further bailout of the utility giants who pushed for the deregulation of the state's energy market. In addition to the devastating effect this will have on working people, senior citizens and the poor, agricultural firms can expect to see 20 percent increases, small businesses will see an average 37 percent hike and industrial users anticipate an increase of 49 percent. This will result in a chain reaction of higher prices for consumer goods, small business bankruptcies and the loss of tens of thousands of jobs as businesses trim costs to meet higher operating expenses. By some estimates, 135,000 workers will be sacked as a consequence of higher energy costs to industry, as well as the expected blackouts that will hit the state this summer as energy usage peaks.

Search this site After successfully pushing forward the deregulation of the natural gas, airline, cable and telecommunications industries, the pundits on Wall Street turned their sights to the big prize-the $250 billion annual market for electricity. They ignored the fact that the regulated U.S. system already provided the most reliable and inexpensive system of electrical generation and distribution among leading industrial countries. They also conveniently forgot that the U.S. had already experimented with deregulated electricity and turned to regulation after the spectacular abuses and collapse of the Insull energy conglomerate in 1932. In 1992, Congress passed and former President George Bush signed legislation mandating deregulation of wholesale electricity and allowing states to deregulate retail electricity. The proponents promised market efficiencies that would lead to lower costs for consumers and more reliable service. I predicted the opposite-higher prices and less reliable service. The first warning signals of problems with deregulation came with wholesale price spikes 100 times the normal rate, during a Midwest heat wave in 1997. Then California had price spikes up to 50 times normal and rolling blackouts this past winter. Deregulation apologists have a host of excuses for the California problems that are spreading north to Oregon: it is the fault of environmental laws, huge demand increases, or a refusal to allow new generation. One by one, expert analysts and California's utility executives have refuted these myths. Now, deregulation advocates say it is because California only partially deregulated - that is partially true. But the model for full deregulation, Great Britain, has been plagued by price spikes, consumer gouging, service complaints and reliability problems as well. Even the British government has had to partially re-regulate to stem market manipulation and other abuses..

Search this site DeFAZIO APPLAUDS CFA ENERGY DEREGULATION REPORT August 30, 2001 Press Release "The CFA's report document what I've been saying all along," said DeFazio, "Energy deregulation will never work. It hasn't worked for Great Britain, it hasn't worked for New Zealand, it isn't working for California, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, or Montana. Electricity is a unique commodity that doesn't lend itself to the whims of free markets and the principles we learned in Economics 101." DeFazio was one of only two conference committee members and 60 House members to vote against the "1992 Comprehensive National Energy Policy Act," which deregulated wholesale production and distribution of energy, and allowed individual states, like California, to go even further by deregulating retail energy production and distribution. The result of that Act left the West with a decentralized, destabilized energy market due to market manipulation by energy conglomerates, as well as rate hikes and threats of blackouts across the country. "Congress made a colossal mistake in `92, allowing the deregulation of wholesale production and distribution of energy. The `92 Act eliminated the mandate that generators serve the public and provide stable, affordable, and reliable power. We were left with private power buccaneers serving only stockholders by capitalizing on the energy crisis while average Americans struggle to conserve, suffer from lost jobs, and brace for the lights to go out."

Consumer advocates warned that the Bush Administration will likely push another deregulation bill next year setting the stage for a national version of the California energy deregulation crisis. The nonprofit, nonpartisan Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights (FTCR) is urging citizens to contact their lawmakers and President Bush to demand that energy deregulation be taken off the table altogether. "As foolish as it seems to the average citizen, lawmakers are preparing to decrease oversight of energy companies, despite the abysmal record of deregulation. Americans should let politicians know that they won't stand for more Enrons and more deregulation," said FTCR's senior consumer advocate Douglas Heller. "The Bush Administration pushed hard but failed to get the energy industry's deregulation plan through Congress this year. We expect the energy industry to come back again next year, but if there is going to be another energy bill it must be built on the lessons of Enron and California. Energy reform should aim to hold power companies more accountable and regulate the system more carefully not less."

Deregulation critics are unnerved by Schwarzenegger's proposal, arguing it would expose California to major risks at a time the financially strapped state can't afford to gamble. "It looks like he wants to put us back on the roller coaster of a very dangerous experiment," said Public Utilities Commissioner Loretta Lynch, who dealt with lights-out turmoil that tormented California in 2001.
