California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wyoming, and Washington, D.C., now allow competition for both residential and commercial customers. Other states will be following in the months and years to come. The energy market nationwide is worth over $1.6 trillion.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission passed the act in 1996, opening the industry for multiple retail providers. The result was a significant drop in price and a bevy of options for consumers. In 1996, New York and California were first to set the pace and open deregulated markets to businesses and consumers. The next year, Pennsylvania and Illinois made the switch. Soon, they were joined by Massachusetts (1998), Maryland and New Jersey (1999), Connecticut (2000), Washington, D.C. (2001), and Texas (2002).
The deregulation of energy has divided the utility company monopolies by separating the production of energy from its distribution. Under deregulation, the delivery of energy is still regulated and is the responsibility of the local utility company. However, customers now have the freedom to choose their energy supplier. By opening markets to competition, pricing is now based on market forces, not government mandate. Now, energy customers can shop for the best rates. For the customer, nothing will change. There will be no interruption of services because customers’ current utility provider still maintains service and bills their account.
Take Charge Customers have responded overwhelmingly to this freedom by switching in large numbers from the old incumbent utilities to alternative energy suppliers.
With energy deregulation more recently under way, its future appears just as bright. Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wyoming, and Washington, D.C., are currently in various stages of deregulation. This translates into millions of customers who have the power to shop for the best rates in energy services.
