Freedom to Choose - Utilities

Did you know that there was a deregulation of the electric and gas markets?  This simply means that people now have a choice.

Did you know that by the time electricity or gas gets to your home, several different entities have interacted to bring this resource to you?


Here is how it works.  First, specific companies generate power or process natural gas.  Next, a retail supplier buys power or gas in order to meet the needs of their customers. The company you choose will purchase electricity or gas on your behalf competing on the open market for the best price. You can think of them as your own personal power shopper.

It's this competition that ultimately drives prices down and customer experience up.  When it comes to the physical distribution and delivery of the electricity and gas to your home, we all depend on the local utilities to maintain the lines and pipes to keep the system safe and operating.

Your local utility, officially known as a Transmission and Distribution Service Provider (TDSP) is who you call if you have an emergency or service outage.  The end result today is that you now get to choose who you buy your electric and gas product from based on price which is exactly what is needed to ultimately drive prices down and bring the quality of service up.
