They say deregulating the state's electricity industry would increase power generation and improve the reliability of the system. But the much publicized instability of the deregulated California market has some Minnesotans skeptical of the benefits of retail competition. HOW MINNESOTA COMPARES

LCRA: Energy: Energy Deregulation
LCRA wholesale customers are taking a waitand-see attitude toward energyderegulation. LCRA is ready changing electricity market.
http://www.lcra.org/energy/dereg.html

Extractions: Electric Power Wholesale Customers Facilities Renewable Energy ... FAQ Customer choice and public power in Texas Since the retail electric power market in Texas opened to competition on Jan. 1, 2002, people have begun to hear about deregulation and how electric choice might affect them. The new rules (see Senate Bill 7 LCRA, as a wholesale electric provider, is ready to serve its customers regardless of their decision. It is helping customers get ready for competition, and working to improve awareness of the value its relationship with local utilities brings to communities. It also is gearing up to meet future generation resource requirements. While the energy crisis that destroyed the deregulated California market in 2001 has faded from the news, Texas hasn't faced the same problems with electricity restructuring. In fact, other states are taking note of what is working in Texas, including ample sources of power. And, LCRA is helping address potential constraints in the statewide electricity grid by expanding transmission facilities so power can go where it is needed when it is needed. No matter what your utility decides to do, LCRA stands ready to provide reliable power at affordable prices. For more information

Extractions: Starting Jan. 1, 2002, the electric industry in Texas was restructured and partially deregulated to provide customers choices in many markets. On that date, investor-owned electric utilities officially began to compete for electric customers. Deregulation means that providers, other than utilities, may compete for retail customers formerly served by regulated utilities.

http://www.post-gazette.com/energy/power.asp

Extractions: Illustration of power distribution and delivery. Utilities like Duquesne Light Co. have three jobs. They generate electricity, usually by heating water to create steam to turn giant turbines. Any fuel will do, but Duquesne relies primarily on coal-fired boilers and nuclear power plants. Once a stream of electricity is created, it is carried by high-voltage cables on huge steel towers from the power plant to the areas where the power is needed. When the power arrives, a gentle trickle of the juice is sent down the wires that criss-cross streets and neighborhoods and feed into our homes and factories. Pennsylvania is introducing competition into the generation stage of the business. Transmission and distribution will remain regulated monopolies. Few people, for instance, would want a competing electric company coming down their street to string yet another set of wires. But who will sell it to you, and how will they get it to Western Pennsylvania?

http://www.nyc.gov/html/dca/html/energydereg.html

Extractions: WHAT IS ENERGY DEREGULATION? The New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) has opened the States electric industry to competition. The ruling allows customers to choose their supplier of electricity and natural gas, much as you choose your long distance telephone service. New York City residents and business owners who are serviced by Con Ed and other public utility companies are now able to choose among a variety of competing electric and natural gas service companies. Competition is being phased in throughout New York State over the next couple of years until 2002, when all customers will be able to choose. H OW DOES ENERGY DEREGULATION WORK? The PSC approved utility plans that gave electric and natural gas consumers access to new energy suppliers known as energy service companies, or "ESCOs." The plans require the utilities to offer retail choice to customers who want to shop for electricity, gas and related services. The delivery of electricity and natural gas to homes and businesses, however, will remain the job of the local utility and continue to be regulated by the PSC. HOW CAN ENERGY DEREGULATION BENEFIT ME?

Aggregation - the combination of many customers' demand for electricity in order to buy electricity together. A buying group that buys a large amount of electricity gains market advantage. Bundled service - electricity generation, distribution and customer service are all provided by the same utility. Distribution - transport of electricity from a substation to customers. The distribution system converts electricity from high-voltage, which travels better over long distances, to low-voltage that can be used in homes and businesses. Electric cooperative - a member-owned electric utility company. Electric cooperatives may generate, purchase, and/or distribute electricity. They operate on a not-for-profit basis. End-use customers - residential and business customers who use the electricity that they purchase.
Electric Deregulation Q&A - 9/17/1999 - ENN.com
energy deregulation is here to stay, and it means big changes in yourelectric bill. Here is a consumer's guide to what it all means
http://www.enn.com/enn-features-archive/1999/09/091799/deregulation_4812.asp

Extractions: In recent years, deregulation has changed the face of American industry, from airlines to telephone companies. You can fly cheaply almost anywhere, and the cost of long distance phone calls has never been lower. Now, in state after state, deregulation is changing how people will buy electric power. Some frequently asked questions: Q: What is deregulation? A: Electric-power deregulation is a federal and state effort to lower electricity prices for everyone. It will also give consumers a choice of where they buy power by removing rules that give existing utilities a monopoly in the industry. Traditionally, utilities have had a monopoly on all aspects of the business in their geographic service territories. Q: How does the electric-power business work? A: The business has three main parts: generation (the making of electricity), transmission (transporting that electricity over big power lines to the utility), distribution (sending the power through smaller wires to homes and businesses). In the traditional model, utilities controlled all three parts. So far, almost all deregulation efforts have been aimed at the generation side of the business-the making of electricity.

http://www.house.gov/defazio/052401EGStatement.shtml

Extractions: After successfully pushing forward the deregulation of the natural gas, airline, cable and telecommunications industries, the pundits on Wall Street turned their sights to the big prize-the $250 billion annual market for electricity. They ignored the fact that the regulated U.S. system already provided the most reliable and inexpensive system of electrical generation and distribution among leading industrial countries. They also conveniently forgot that the U.S. had already experimented with deregulated electricity and turned to regulation after the spectacular abuses and collapse of the Insull energy conglomerate in 1932. In 1992, Congress passed and former President George Bush signed legislation mandating deregulation of wholesale electricity and allowing states to deregulate retail electricity. The proponents promised market efficiencies that would lead to lower costs for consumers and more reliable service. I predicted the opposite-higher prices and less reliable service. The first warning signals of problems with deregulation came with wholesale price spikes 100 times the normal rate, during a Midwest heat wave in 1997. Then California had price spikes up to 50 times normal and rolling blackouts this past winter. Deregulation apologists have a host of excuses for the California problems that are spreading north to Oregon: it is the fault of environmental laws, huge demand increases, or a refusal to allow new generation. One by one, expert analysts and California's utility executives have refuted these myths. Now, deregulation advocates say it is because California only partially deregulated - that is partially true. But the model for full deregulation, Great Britain, has been plagued by price spikes, consumer gouging, service complaints and reliability problems as well. Even the British government has had to partially re-regulate to stem market manipulation and other abuses..
DeFazio Applauds CFA Energy Deregulation Report (00852)
DeFAZIO APPLAUDS CFA energy deregulation REPORT August 30, 2001. Press Release Contact Kristie Greco (202) 2256416 WASHINGTON, DC Rep.
http://www.house.gov/defazio/083001EGRelease.shtml

Extractions: "The CFA's report document what I've been saying all along," said DeFazio, "Energy deregulation will never work. It hasn't worked for Great Britain, it hasn't worked for New Zealand, it isn't working for California, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, or Montana. Electricity is a unique commodity that doesn't lend itself to the whims of free markets and the principles we learned in Economics 101." DeFazio was one of only two conference committee members and 60 House members to vote against the "1992 Comprehensive National Energy Policy Act," which deregulated wholesale production and distribution of energy, and allowed individual states, like California, to go even further by deregulating retail energy production and distribution. The result of that Act left the West with a decentralized, destabilized energy market due to market manipulation by energy conglomerates, as well as rate hikes and threats of blackouts across the country. "Congress made a colossal mistake in `92, allowing the deregulation of wholesale production and distribution of energy. The `92 Act eliminated the mandate that generators serve the public and provide stable, affordable, and reliable power. We were left with private power buccaneers serving only stockholders by capitalizing on the energy crisis while average Americans struggle to conserve, suffer from lost jobs, and brace for the lights to go out."
