Brave new world of utilities: what does it mean for your company?
Article Abstract:
The proposed deregulation of the electric utility industry is aimed at providing customers with a wide range of electric power suppliers to choose from. However, this proposal is expected to create a number of problems for state regulators. These include the prices variations in the services offered by utilities and the lack of an effective method to breakup the $600 billion electric utility industry. The restructuring proposal is also expected to lead to new aqcuisitions and mergers between electric utilities.
