A Possible Future: Deregulation

  • Chapter
Book cover Spot Pricing of Electricity

Abstract

The spot price based energy marketplace is designed to operate in a regulated environment (regulated private company, or government owned). However, its implementation opens a door to deregulation of some or all generation. This door is already being opened slowly in the United States at both the federal and state level through regulations concerning cogeneration, small power production and wheeling. The purpose of this chapter is to look behind that slowly opening door and try to see what might be there.
