Cuurently, 16 states-Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Texas-plus the District of Columbia have deregulated electricity markets in some form.
Deregulation laws introduced a new opportunity to residents in many states: the right to choose an energy supplier. Residents in these areas have access to a number of energy suppliers that offer alternative prices, plans and customer service options. Deregulation varies by state. Across the nation, you will find states that are deregulated across all energy types, those that have partial deregulation â such as only one commodity or only for commercial customers â and those that haven't yet or are still contemplating the benefits of energy deregulation.
