I would not support deregulation because the government needs to ikeep electricity rates at a level everyone can afford. And, plus, the government has enough to do.

Government should definitely keep regulations because, otherwise, the companies will monopolize and then charge consumers whatever they want.
Prices stay lower when government is in control.
