Standard Rate Review Deregulation

Deregulation
Are you confused by the many options being offered to your company by deregulated utility providers and marketers? Up until 1998 energy was purchased from a single company who provided the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity. With the deregulation of the electric utility industry, new competition has now opened up with offers to consumers with different choices in purchasing their energy.

Since the deregulation of the electric industry, many utility companies have been forced to redesign their bills with more complicated and difficult to understand billing structures. Many components of your electric bill will be unbundled and billed as separate items. This means you’ll see various separate charges for generation, transmission, and for the distribution of your electricity bills. In addition, certain tariffs and surcharges may be added to each of these charges which may or may not be applicable.
