Deregulation, but with Regulations
Deregulation allows for competition.
So, the State of Delaware has issued a request for proposal (RFP) for energy suppliers to run an opt-in program for state residents to voluntarily select an alternative to their current utility service under an Energy Choice program. This process is generally called “deregulations”.
The RFP has 10 requirements for which they will judge suppliers. The winning supplier will be awarded the “approved” supplier in the state. Most likely, becoming the approved supplier will result in confusion and higher costs than what other state marketers will offer.
Why? Because regulators cannot regulate competition. They can only enforce quality and fair service.
So, what is the promise of deregulation….
- Less government requirements
- New ideas and opportunities
- Competition to lower cost, verse regulators to oversee expenses
So, how can a competitor actually compete when the regulators don’t want to deregulate but want regulated competition? Stay tuned and we will find out…..
