State Status of

Electricity Deregulation 

Regardless of the status of your state’s deregulation program, businesses are urged to contact APPI to discuss energy management services, electricity tariff audits, and to prepare for upcoming electricity opportunities.  

Electricity deregulation is accomplished on a state-by-state basis. There is no federal legislation mandating deregulation. States with electricity “choice” program are:

Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, New York, Texas, and Washington DC

Deregulation is completed. There is active competition among electricity suppliers.  Savings negotiated by APPI for all types of businesses range from 5% to 50%

Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, and New Jersey

Deregulation is completed. There is active competition among electricity suppliers for large businesses and industrials.  Savings negotiated by APPI range from 5% to 50%.

Pennsylvania

Deregulation is completed. Competitive pricing is available in the Duquesne and Penn Power service territories.

Arizona, New Hampshire, Oregon, Ohio, and Virginia

Deregulation has been implemented, but savings are currently limited due to the lack of a competitive market.

California

Deregulation fully implemented, but as of September 2001 retail choice was suspended until further notice.  However, businesses currently served by suppliers other than PGE, SOCAL Edison, and San Diego Gas & Electric, can continue to be active in the competitive market.

Arkansas, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Oklahoma

Deregulation legislation is currently pending. No dates have been set.

Remaining states are in the process of legislative investigation with no specific plans.
