CONTACT US The Case For Energy Deregulation Daily Policy Digest Regulatory Issues / Electrical Power Friday, November 15, 2002 The case for energy deregulation remains strong despite the problems Californians faced with market restructuring, according to a recent study. Strict regulations are costly and negatively affect energy providers and consumers. While the actual cost of regulations has yet to be tallied, experts estimate that restrictive trade practices cost hundreds of millions a year. Experts project that the demand for energy will increase by 60 percent in the next 20 years. Basic market principles hold that if demand for energy increases while energy supplies stagnate, energy prices will skyrocket. Consumers should expect rising rates on heating and cooling unless restrictions on energy trade are eased. On the other hand, case studies in the United States and Europe indicate that energy de-regulation spurs substantial economic growth. Following the extensive reforms in the United Kingdom that took place in the 1990s, industrial gas prices fell by 45 percent and consumer gas prices fell by 25 percent.

Energy Deregulation is a Failure Source: Brian Kohler Right-wing politicians and financiers continue to insist that the free market will solve our energy problems. Enron proved them wrong. http://www.cep1123.bc.ca/index.html Enron was more than a huge energy company. It was the "theological headquarters" of the Cult of Unregulated Energy. Canadians need to understand that Enron’s owners and officers were not merely worshippers at the "Church of the Blessed Privatization and Deregulation of Energy" they were the priests, the prophets; in fact, the self-proclaimed messiahs for true believers on both sides of the border. Therefore we should not miss the point that they have now been exposed as a band of criminals. Criminals, moreover, with a psychopathic lack of concern for the pain they have caused their own employees - not to mention their millions of customers. This fact should raise questions about their cult; just as the exposure of a television evangelist as a fraud raises questions about his ministry. The mainstream and financial news reports continue to report on the collapse of Enron as though it is just another corporate failure; an isolated example of corporate misbehaviour. Its real significance is much greater, and has implications for Canada and the entire world; not just the U.S.A. That is, if we are willing to learn from it.

68. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - Energy Deregulation - It’s A Long Way To Deregulation Power Play. It’sa long way to deregulation. By Ken Zapinski, PostGazetteStaff Writer. Pennsylvania utility companies may just as http://www.post-gazette.com/energy/dereg.asp

By Ken Zapinski, Post-Gazette Staff Writer Pennsylvania utility companies may just as well have been burning dollar bills to generate the state's electricity, as far as critics were concerned. For electricity that cost Pennsylvania customers $1, the rest of the country was paying only 85 cents. In some parts of the state, including Pittsburgh, the difference was even greater. The rates were so high they triggered a revolution, one to allow people to dump their local utility and shop around for a cheaper electricity supplier. The push to reform the U.S. power industry has generally come from big business, the customers who stand to gain the most from cheaper electricity prices. "The typical guy is not sitting at home saying, ‘Hmm, I’m paying too much for electricity … I wish I had a choice.’ That’s not the way it went," said Phil Baratz, president of Total Gas & Electric, a Florida power supplier. "It’s really been the major players … looking to force this down through the utility commissions." The theory, contested by some, is that competition is the only way to keep electricity prices low in the long run.

Two days before an EU summit in Barcelona, France's finance minister said he was counting on a deal on the crunch issue of energy market liberalisation, provided it only involved electricity supplies to businesses for now, not to households. European Commission President Romano Prodi told a Brussels news conference the EU would have to deliver on pledges made amid great pomp two years ago to make Europe the most dynamic economy in the world by 2010 by promoting market reforms.

Energy Deregulation A Choice in Power Production? By Donna McCabe It's only a Choice, not a Child Since the first murmurs about energy deregulation, I've been asking everyone I know "So what are you going to do?" By and large the answer is the same, from radicals to conservatives, people answer "Um, we don't know, so nothing. We'll stick with PG&E until we figure it all out." There's no hope in figuring it out first - there really isn't much choice. The main problems with energy deregulation are that it does not discourage energy use, and is a step away from public ownership of utilities. The choices are false. California was the first state to offer all electric customers a "choice" of power companies. The way you've purchased electricity in the past was through the highly regulated privately held monopoly of Pacific Gas and Electric. It is exactly because they were a monopoly that they were so highly regulated. Prices were somewhat controlled, safety issues were somewhat considered, and the government had some say in the environmental degradation allowed. At PG&E profits (and there were and still are high profits) went to shareholders. What is Green-E?

May 2001 Energy deregulation nearing TASB pool will help districts find lowest available rates by Karen Strong Q: How will energy deregulation affect Texas schools? A: Energy deregulation should lower energy costs for everyone when competition begins January 1, 2002. At least, that is the intent. The 76th Texas Legislature passed the Texas Electric Choice Act in 1999, after discussing energy deregulation for several sessions. The goal is to lower energy prices while protecting service reliability and improving air quality. The legislation also includes rules providing for clear, understandable bills, privacy of customer information, protection from discrimination, and penalties for “slamming and cramming” (unauthorized switching of your electricity provider and adding unauthorized charges to an electric bill). Who’s involved? Existing electric rates were frozen as of September 1, 1999, and residential and small-business customers are guaranteed a 6 percent rate reduction, not including adjustments for fuel, once competition is under way (January 1, 2002). That 6 percent reduction is called the “price to beat.” Don’t sign up yet.

Prometheus 6 Do not make the mistake of thinking that because my conclusion is the same as another person's that my reasoning is the same Main September 02, 2003 I hope the energy deregulation proponents I was talking to on Crooked Timber are paying attention Another Friday Outrage By PAUL KRUGMAN When the E.P.A. makes our air dirtier, or the Interior Department opens a wilderness to mining companies, or the Labor Department strips workers of some more rights, the announcement always comes late on Friday ? when the news is most likely to be ignored on TV and nearly ignored by major newspapers. Last Friday the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, known as FERC, announced settlements with energy companies accused of manipulating markets during the California energy crisis. Why on Friday? Because the settlements were a joke: the companies got away with only token payments. It was yet another demonstration of how electricity deregulation has gone wrong. Most independent experts now believe that during 2000-2001, price manipulation by energy companies, mainly taking the form of "economic withholding" ? keeping capacity offline to drive up prices ? added billions of dollars to California's electricity bills. A March FERC report concluded that there had been extensive manipulation of prices in both the natural gas and electricity markets. Using methods widely accepted among economists, the California Independent System Operator ? which operates the power grid ? estimated that withholding by electricity companies had cost the state $8.9 billion. This estimate doesn't include the continuing cost of long-term contracts the state signed, at inflated prices, to keep the lights on during the crisis.

Under energy deregulation, customers now have the choice as to who will supply their electric and gas. Competition has produced and supported new innovative technologies and services to generate even greater energy savings. Energy Deregulation Energy deregulation is similar to the deregulated telephone industry where a company such as Sprint sells you long distance service (the commodity) and Verizon continues to maintain the transmission systems. The transmission distribution portion of the bill (the cost to get the power to you) is still provided by the utility. Maintenance of the systems and meter reading will still be the responsibility of your present utility as well. By purchasing your power from Advantage Energy, Inc., to the extent our company purchases power cheaper than your current tariff rate, you'll save money. Credentials Did You Know?

But if a company expects to get in on the potential savings of 10% to 25% on electricity bills, it must spend a few dollars now and expend executive time on planning to get the chain into position to negotiate rates with utilities. Planning starts with installing an interval meter at every store, which would let a retailer know how much electricity each location is using at 15-minute intervals around the clock. That was the advice given to retailers at a session on electricity deregulation conducted during last month's NRF convention. Speakers included Chris Albrecht, vp, May Department Stores, and Bill Lyon, vp of operations, Federated Department Stores. Pacificorp, a California-based company that is involved in the deregulation business, sponsored the panel.

MEDIA ADVISORY December 8, 2000 Briefing Electric Energy Deregulation: Challenges for Next Administration and Engineering Industries The U.S. Energy Association (USEA) and the American Consulting Engineers Council (ACEC) will hold a joint briefing on important issues in electric deregulation that affect the business environment of the energy, utility, engineering, construction, and finance industries. The electric utility industry is transforming from a regulated industry to a competitive one. The door to this restructuring was opened in 1992 by the enactment of the Energy Policy Act , which called for increased open-market generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity. Pending national and state initiatives will further expand and revolutionize the market. Impacts of deregulation have already been felt in major energy markets across the nation, as utilities, service providers, and consumers seek maximum benefit. California in particular has attracted national attention this month because of dramatically escalating electricity costs and calls for energy conservation. A review of federal and state initiatives; new role of regulators; future of electric reliability; new utility clients; industry restructuring; utility outsourcing; engineering services; and financing. Welcoming remarks: Barry Worthington, Executive Director, USEA. Speakers include: Guy Caruso

Posted on: 11/09/2000 Capturing Advantage from Energy Deregulation Angel Abcede, Contributing Writer Industry change unleashes a chaos of commercial and industrial energy opportunities. Who's positioned to benefit? With the deregulation of electricity slowly becoming a state-by-state reality, energy users in businesses across the country are watching with curiosity and caution as the energy commodity and services market-potentially a $250 billion industry-redefines itself. Who the players are, what products and services will be available, and where the cost savings lie are a few of the unknowns surrounding future electricity supply, leaving business executives trapped in near-term uncertainty. For managers and executives overseeing their company's energy consumption, the good news is that most experts and industry analysts say cost savings will occur. Competition from new and reborn players will lower the cost of power itself and initiate a climate of energy conservation that may mean even bigger savings for businesses. Also tied to the energy supply and conservation wave is information-knowing for the first time the line-item detail of a company's energy bill. In a regulated industry, costs were fixed, unbundled, and served up without any meaningful breakdown. Now, knowing exactly what company dollars are paying for may revolutionize the way in which businesses view their energy costs.

The effects of deregulation will of course affect everyone: business, industry and the homeowner. But just how much of an effect will there be? Unfortunately, the short answer is that no one really knows. However, it is certain that the impending deregulation of power producers and transmitters will change the way we do business here. It is also likely that it will impact our environment, our local employment, county and city tax budgets, and possibly our overall quality of life in Oswego County. As Gary Toth, AFL-CIO the Oswego County Labor Council president, put it recently, "there's positives and negatives to it." The Strong Will Survive Some financial analysts have predicted that the electric utility industry, like the present long distance telephone business, will see a rapid consolidation and a series of mergers in the wake of deregulation with a handful of strong regional producers ultimately emerging. (Indeed, many American utilities are already buying up other power producers both here and abroad.) Without government oversight, a few big regionals could then easily collude on pricing of energy, effectively eliminating true competition. Since electricity is so vital to daily life, Toth, of the local union, and many other observers including consumer advocates and environmental activists, say deregulation of electric utilities is not comparable to deregulating long haul truckers or airlines and so must be done carefully.

Restructuring of California's Electric Utility Industry Information From the California Energy Commission Beginning March 31, 1998, many of California's electricity consumers were allowed to make choices when they purchased their electricity. The decades-old structure of area-specific monopolies for electricity was changed under what is called "restructuring" or deregulation . Begun by the California Public Utilities Commission in 1992, the course electricity deregulation took was directed by legislation, mainly Assembly Bill 1890 and Senate Bill 90. Because of flaws in the deregulation process, the California Public Utilities Commission suspended direct access in September 2001 . Other problems, too numerous to explain here, also occurred. Many periodicals and books have examined and analyzed what went wrong with the state deregulation efforts. We'd recommend investigating those books and magazines at your local public or school library. Under restructuring, the California Energy Commission RENEWABLE ENERGY www.energy.ca.gov/renewables
