Impact of Deregulation
Deregulation = Choice & Control
Many states have restructured their electric markets to include both regulated and deregulated components. Simply stated, in a restructured market the regulated utility continues to transport and deliver power to its users. The actual generation of the electricity is now open to competition and users are free to negotiate their own rates and terms to best meet their needs. So, power is still managed and delivered by the local utility, but users are free to procure their power in an open and competitive market.
Paragon Advisors will ensure that your business takes advantage of all the opportunities available in a deregulated electric market.
