How does energy deregulation work?
In the past, there was only one utility company and that company determined what price consumers would pay for the energy they used. Now, the electric and natural gas industry in Canada is undergoing significant restructuring in order to break up the monopolies.
In deregulated energy markets you have the ability to choose your energy provider. If you do not make a choice you are left with the default provider, usually your local utility (EPCOR or Enmax), and at a rate that is typically higher then open market competition.
What has changed with deregulated energy?
In deregulated energy markets your bill is divided into two major areas:
Commodity price.
This is the cost of the actual electricity or natural gas that your business uses (Given in kWh or GJ’s). This is the area open to competition. In most markets you can now choose from a number of different providers to buy your electricity and natural gas from.
Delivery Charge
The delivery of your electricity and natural gas is still managed by your local utility and regulated by the provincial government. The rate that you pay for delivery will be the same regardless of who you choose to buy your electricity from.
