What is electric deregulation?
In the past, one company provided all parts of your electric service (generation, transmission and distribution, and retail sales). With competition, these entities are now separate and you have the power to choose whom you would like to serve you as your electricity provider. Keep in mind that the local distribution utility, or Transmission and Distribution Service Provider (TDSP), will continue to service your poles and wires so you will continue to receive electricity like you always have.
