The result of deregulation depends on which state you live in. In general, there is now:
Wider choice of energy suppliers and pricing plans for customers.
A mix of energy generation, including more renewable energy sources.
Improved energy technologies.
Some customers benefit from rates that have increased less than the national average.
People in deregulated markets need to remember:
The energy you receive is the same, and switching providers doesn't interrupt service.
Customers still receive and pay one bill, which details delivery and maintenance charges (utility) and supply (electricity provider) service charges.
Shop around for the best deal that suits your circumstances.
