Does anyone know if there is a state where full deregulation exists? Status as of April 2001 eia.doe.gov None in the US. Pennsylvania is often cited as an example of a state with deregulated power that works. Does this look like deregulated power in PA? 12/00: GPU has asked the PSC to defer the losses from its rising costs of wholesale power purchases, due to rising fuel costs, to provide its default customers with power. A number of customers returned to GPU this summer following a rise in market prices. GPU was unable to procure through a 1999 auction, a supplier for 20% of its "provider of last resort" load. And then there is the socialist Texas plan Restructuring legislation, SB 7, was enacted to restructure the Texas electric industry allowing retail competition. The bill requires retail competition to begin by 1/02. Rates will be frozen for 3 years, and then a 6% reduction will be required for residential and small commercial consumers.
