Think back
to history class and the lessons about how the United States was founded and why it was built on the principles of liberty
and justice for all. Although this sentiment
was meant for the people of this great country, it also applies to the
businesses operating here. The American economic system is known for its
capitalist mentality, but it's also praised for its free enterprise system.
Like other
industries, energy is a big business and an important industry in our country!
After all, it's how the lights stay on in your home and how you're able to stay
warm and cool throughout the different seasons. However the energy and power
industries are rapidly changing due to the trend known as energy industry
deregulation. Think of energy industry deregulation as a kind of free
enterprise system for energy suppliers and power suppliers, as well as
renewable energy companies.
In years
past, the government and it's authorities worked closely on an individual level
with local utility providers in an effort to give business and home owners a
single, standardized solution for their power and utility needs. Some utility
companies found these kinds of restrictions to be very stifling and
unnecessarily restrictive. This tight control allowed the industry to stabilize
and it helped to establish a significant infrastructure during the early twentieth
century. As much as this system was necessary back in those days, fast forward
to today, and some now find it outdated and impractical.
While the
basic concept of energy industry deregulation is fairly simple to understand,
it's easy to see how it's dynamics can be confusing, especially since your
local power or utility provider might not be necessarily motivated to highlight
the alternatives or benefits. As such, you may not even know what your options
are and could be missing out on savings and alternative energy choices. Many
consumers appreciate energy industry deregulation because it can make room for
more sustainable, and innovative companies to serve their needs in a more
efficient and affordable way.
Here are a
few things to know about energy industry deregulation and how it can benefit
you:
Potentially
Save On Your Gas and Electricity Bills Each Month
Your
monthly utility expenses can add up, so it's important to find ways to save
anyway you can. As previously stated, the United States of America praises
capitalism, and one of the most fundamental tenets of that is competition in
order to drive prices down and keep them fair. Thanks to energy industry
deregulation, alternative power companies can enter a deregulated market and
win new customers over by potentially offering more affordable rates for
service.
It's
Greener
Energy
deregulation can be greener for the earth and better for the environment.
Sustainability and environmental responsibility is on the minds and in hearts
of many American households and individuals nowadays, perhaps more so than
ever. Deregulation can help you with this by making your electricity and gas
greener! As a whole, most alternative power suppliers seek out the most
environmentally friends power sources to protect the environment while still
serving the needs of their customers.
No
Service Interruption
It's
important to keep in mind that deregulation of power only affects it's supply
or where the energy actually comes from, not how it's delivered or distributed
to you. If you decide to make the simple switch, you don't have to worry
about a disruption in service or a power outage. The only thing that will be
different is your new energy supplier listed on your bill!
