Electrical Deregulated Energy Market Overview
The U.S. electric energy industry is going through changes in the way it delivers electricity to Americans. The $200+ billion industry, which has been named the last large government-sponsored monopoly, is being deregulated and opened to competition. This is giving consumers the power to choose their electricity provider similar to the way they choose telephone carriers or internet providers.
