Power grab

Article Abstract:

Power marketing, which refers to buying and reselling wholesale bulk electricity, is attracting many entities who hope to gain huge profits from this new energy sector. Power marketing has been facilitated by the National Energy Policy Act of 1992, which allowed power generators more access to electric power grids. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is being swamped with filings for power marketing approval. Applicants include cogenerator affiliates, natural gas affiliates and utility affiliates. The difference between power marketers and brokers, regulatory hurdles, reporting requirements and implications for the electric industry are discussed.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's mandate for electric utilities to open up their transmission lines to retail wheeling has created a level playing field for power marketers. According to analysts, this will drive utilities to divest their generation capacity, focus on their basic capabilities and increase their power trading business. Meanwhile, power marketers will increase the size of the wholesale electricity market to its actual value of $200 billion.
