“Deregulated” Energy Markets Still Have a Long Way to Go

“…even though restructured markets have incorporated free-market principles, they still have a long way to go before they achieve more recognizable gains in efficiency, pricing, and innovation. Current regulations on pricing, transmission and distribution of energy, and more, have all but voided the workings of markets, price signals, and the long-run competition that drives market behavior.”

The only way to realize the benefits of free markets in electricity is to get outside of the existing sector. That’s what “Consumer Regulated Electricity” (CRE) can achieve. By allowing the creation of new, independent, large-scale, and competitive utilities we can reap the benefits of a free market for electricity for the first time in over a century.
