California
With the 2009 passage of Bill 695, eligible California businesses can participate in the competitive retail electricity market. Switching to an Electric Service Provider (ESP) like Liberty Power can save your business money and help you manage your cash flow.
Connecticut
Connecticut deregulated its electricity markets in late 1999, however Standard Offer and Transitional Standard Offer rate caps were in place until the beginning of 2007. As prices begin to reflect actual market rates they are expected to rise.
Delaware
Delaware initially restructured its electricity markets in 2000. Utility pricing is currently based on a yearly solicitation via RFP.
Illinois
The Illinois Electric Service Customer Choice and Rate Relief Act of 1997 restructured the state´s electric market and provided for a transition to competitive retail markets. Illinois utilities divested their generation and entered into long term wholesale purchase agreements with the new generation owners to last through 2006. The transitional retail market structure during this 10 year time period included rate rollbacks and freezes as well as transition cost charges. In January 2007 the state moved to the next phase of the transition with new default utility rates based on the results of a wholesale auction that took place in early September 2006.
Maine
The Maine legislature passed Title 35-A in 1997, restructuring the electric industry and paving the way for competitive suppliers to enter the market. The state became fully restructured in 2000, allowing customers to choose the company that supplies their electricity.
Maryland
The State of Maryland opened for competition on July 1, 2000, for all customer classes in all parts of the state. The introduction of competition into the electric industry can create significant benefits to electricity customers. Some reasons for moving to a competitive electric market are: To put downward pressure on costs, thus providing consumers with the lowest possible prices for electricity and to allow all customers to choose their power supplier. The Standard Offer Service (SOS) is the alternative to purchasing electric supply from a competitive supplier. By law, the availability, procurement, and pricing of SOS are overseen by the Commission.
Massachusetts
Massachusetts deregulated its electricity markets in March 1998. Default utility service (Basic Service) supply proposals are sought through solicitation and rates may change quarterly for both Large and Medium Commercial and Industrial Customers and every six months for Residential and Small Commercial Customers.
New Jersey
New Jersey deregulated its electricity markets in 1999. Utilities currently charge market rates for power based on annual auctions. Liberty Power was licensed by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities in the spring of 2007.
New York
In 1998, New York opened its electric industry to retail competition to help lower New York´s retail electricity rates, which have been among the highest in the Nation, and to encourage investment in more efficient and environmentally friendly generation plants. To help establish a competitive market in electricity, utilities throughout New York State have sold many of the electric generation plants they owned. New retailers like Liberty Power have entered the market as Electricity Service Companies (ESCOs).
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania opened its electricity market in 1997 with passage of the state´s Electric Choice and Competition Act.
Rhode Island
Rhode Island´s Utility Restructuring Act was signed into law in 1996. Retail competition was phased in, beginning in 1997. All utility customers became eligible to choose a competitive energy supplier as of July, 1998.
Texas
Texas electric market introduced retail competition in January 1, 2002 through the Texas Electric Choice Act. Texas customers will benefit from competition by receiving lower prices, better customer service, and innovative products. Certified Retail Electric Providers (REP) like Liberty Power sell electricity to you and provide functions such as customer service and billing.
Washington, D.C.
The District of Columbia opened for competition in July 2001, with all customer classes becoming eligible for retail electric choice. However, customers representing large amounts of the electric load did not consistently begin to switch to competitive suppliers until the caps on the utility´s Standard Offer Service (SOS) rates expired in early 2005. As customers began to seek alternative suppliers, Liberty Power entered the market in mid 2006 with competitive prices and outstanding customer service.
