| | Deregulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Deregulation is the process by which governments remove restrictions on business in order to (in theory) encourage the efficient operation of markets. | | | One problem that encouraged deregulation was the way in which the regulated industries often controlled the government regulatory agencies, using them to serve the industries' interests. | | | Perceived failures of deregulation (such as the failure of the Savings and Loan sector of the U.S. during the 1980s) have encouraged re-regulation, and more balanced approaches to regulation that emphasize the quality of regulation over the quantity. |

| | Deregulation leads to tax agreements |
| | Deregulation legalization also allowed utilities to recoup the difference between what they actually sold their generation assets for and the book value as part of those stranded costs. | | | As part of the deregulation legislation companies were able to bill consumers for years to recoup "stranded costs," such as monies invested to keep up equipment and facilities. | | | For Plymouth, deregulation led to the coming $12 million tax revenue drop-off and considerable confusion regarding why that tax revenue is going away. |

| | Deregulation |
| | Deregulation is the ability for a customer to purchase their electric energy from a supplier other than their regulated utility. | | | Typically, a main element of electric utility deregulation is the ‘unbundling’ of the various components of your electric bill into main elements — such as “Transmission,” “Distribution,” and “Energy.” In some states, the regulated utilities, like PSNH, were forced to sell their power plants, which were then purchased by independent, unregulated companies. | | | The regulated utility will continue to deliver the electricity to the customer’s home or business, but the customer may choose any authorized supplier to supply the electricity. |

| | Electricity Deregulation: The Issue |
| | The drive for electricity deregulation is being led by seven groups, each of which advocates changes to the current system that provide the greatest benefit to their members, reports Congressional Quarterly. | | | Criticism of deregulation intensified in the summer of 2000, when limited power supplies and increasing demand caused the wholesale price of power to soar throughout the state. | | | Electricity deregulation has been the focus of pointed debate in Congress as far back as 1996, but the absence of consensus — among members of Congress and the various groups lobbying them — has resulted in little progress. |

| | Deregulation of the $200 billion U.S. electricity sector is advancing at both the federal and state levels through a variety of liberalization plans and policies. | | | Similarly, state action alone cannot deregulate the industry in an efficient, harmonious manner without creating a host of consumer and company equity concerns as well as reliability questions; congressional action is needed to complement state actions and carry the comprehensive reform of the country's electricity sector through to completion. | | | Congress also can use the appropriations process ("deregulation by defunding") to cut back agency spending and curtail undesirable FERC activities. |
