Nuke plants cost alot more to operate than conventional plants. The dream of "too cheap to meter" never worked out. With deregulation smaller utilities with lower overhead can offer power at much lower prices than large utilities, so the larger utilities have been trying to cut costs over the last few years. The purse strings are very tight to start with and dealing with y2k is just one more thing that they have to deal with.

Interestingly, a company doesn't even have to generate electricity to get into the business. They purchase excess capacity from low cost providers,say in the south and then resell it in the northeast,even though the utility they compete with owns and maintains the transmission lines. This state (NH) already is involved in a pilot dereg plan. I buy my elecricity from a reseller and pay my employer for the infrastructure. Overall my bill went down by 10% to 15%.
