"CRE would create a new type of electric utility that would focus on serving new load growth, could design their new utilities from a clean sheet of paper (according to the needs of the customer), move much faster than the existing sector, and would be much more innovative than existing utilities. By being islanded, that is, not connected to any regulated grid, these new utilities wouldn’t impose new costs or reliability concerns on the existing grids. The separation of CRE utilities from existing grids combined with the sophisticated nature of large CRE customers means there wouldn’t be a need for PUC oversight, and that would enable even greater speed and rapid innovation."
