From the supplier: The deregulation of the electricity industry has inspired power marketers to promise cheap and renewable energy to their consumers. Although studies show that as much as 40% could be saved on the average electric bill because of competition, the actual beneficiaries would be industrial and large-volume buyers, while residential consumers could only expect little savings. Moreover, critics have raised doubts about the capability of utilities to keep their promises without regulation since most the energy in the US still comes from non-renewable sources.

Description:
Electricity deregulation has aroused concern that environmental quality might be harmed by consumer preferences for cheap, ''dirty'' (e.g., coal) electricity products, despite the perhaps stronger influence of supply side policy on environmental impacts. This outcome depends on public understanding of the environmental impacts of their decisions, which this study explored with interviews, focus groups, and surveys in New Jersey. People had thought little about the topic, were unable to articulate how electricity production might affect the environment except in very general terms, and were mostly unwilling to guess whether deregulation's impacts would be negative, neutral or positive. Those who did guess expected negative impacts less than any other kind. Reactions to specific ''reasons'' for expecting no, positive or negative impacts suggested that consumers had little structure to their mental models in this area; for example, people who thought positive-impact reasons were probably true were not necessarily likely to see negative-impact reasons as probably false. However, in the aggregate, people seemed to have a fairly consistent ranking of energy sources by expected negative environmental impacts. Earlier research found that consumers comparing two electricity products on environmental impacts reached different decisions if they had energy-source-only or energy-source-plus-emissions information. Although regulator-required ''environmental labels'' for electricity products provide both source and emissions data, it is not clear that they do an adequate job of both alerting consumers to the possibility of negative environmental impacts and identifying the relative life-cycle impacts of different products so as to produce informed consumer decisions. ...

From the author: Supply researchers predicted in 1999 that deregulation would change the landscape for the purchasers of energy. The current research was undertaken to determine the nature and direction of the predicted changes in energy sourcing behavior. Based on detailed interviews with managers, government officials, and lobbyists, the risks and rewards associated with recent events in deregulation are examined and analyzed. Next, a detailed process for developing and implementing an energy sourcing strategy for commercial businesses that considers these risks and rewards of alternative energy sourcing channels is developed. This is followed by a process that involves aggregating data, obtaining support, defining risk tolerance, and spending parameters that involved stakeholders, evaluating proposals, executing the strategy and monitoring it over time. Finally, insights into the future trends in deregulated energy markets are described. Results suggest that a focused approach to developing detailed supply market intelligence can assist sourcing managers in preparing for the deregulated era and achieve significant cost savings in energy spending.

Description:
This study analyses the main articles that estimate cost functions in the electricity utility industry with a view to studying of the initial arguments for proposing competition and vertical disintegration. The works reviewed here, in general terms, confirm the initial arguments in favour of the deregulation process, mainly, the exhaustion of scale economies for moderate size firms in generation and the condition of natural monopoly for transmission and distribution. However, the savings obtained from undertaking different activities together should be kept in mind when restructuring the sector. On the other hand, the improvements in productivity deriving from the reforms have not translated into reductions in the price of electricity in many countries. These last two results suggest the need for appropriate market regulation for the deregulation process to translate into an improvement in how the sector works and into benefits for consumers. There is still insufficient empirical literature on these issues due to the fact that the process is still ongoing in many countries and more time will have to transpire before sufficient data is available. ...

What happened in the California energy crisis, why it happened and who was to blame. California's energy deregulation is one of the biggest regulatory, political and public policy mistakes in the last hundred years. Partially deregulating California's electricity markets worked a strange alchemy on politics and business. The results cast a harsh light on:
Partisans -- who didn't understand their ideology
NIMBY consumers -- who wanted cheap energy
Political compromisers -- who proved worse than extremists
Explotative corporations -- who misread the situation
These factors turned economic outcomes upside down: smart players failed and bumblers stumbled into windfalls. And while California went dark, other states' deregulation succeeded.
