Diversity requires flexibility
Article Abstract:
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) should adopt incentive-based reforms to achieve a unified transmission structure for electric utilities. The FERC should unite the independent system operators and transmission firms in terms of monitoring, auditing and pricing policies. Also, the commission should consider the marketplace and other regional factors in structuring both types of transmission, to work for a highly competitive electric utilities market. All reforms should also be efficient, symmetrical and flexible to adopt to the changing conditions in the industry.

Charting the retail frontier
Article Abstract:
The success of pilot programs in a simulation of a deregulated energy industry was the effort invested by stakeholders in educating the participating consumers of the benefits and limitations of the program. While the bottom line for many consumers in the pilot programs was lower electricity rates, many consumers were also made aware of their energy sources options, such as natural gas or nuclear. Customers need to align their choice of electricity sources with their need for better electricity service and lower electricity rates.
