Why Provider Structure Matters
Provider structure can affect:
- How customers shop for electricity — In deregulated or choice markets, customers may compare providers directly.
- Whether rates are regulated or competitive — Regulated markets typically have a single utility serving an area; competitive markets may have multiple retail options.
- How electricity costs are understood — Average rates and estimated bills vary by state and can help inform how much households typically pay.
