Until the early 2000s, U.S. residents and businesses had little control over their electricity bills. Local utility companies were solely responsible for selling and delivering energy in their designated areas. The state government set a price the utility could charge for its services, and that rate was reflected on consumers’ bills.

Fortunately, deregulation brings energy choice to millions of consumers and fosters competition in the energy market. Under this new system, customers can compare plans and rates from multiple companies and pick the one they prefer.

Today, residents and businesses in 32 states and Washington, D.C. have some form of retail energy choice. However, each state handles energy deregulation differently. In some states, both electricity and natural gas are deregulated, while others offer only one. Additionally, state laws vary in terms of who deregulation applies to — residents, businesses, or both.
