Electric Service Providers

Public or private entities that are responsible for the generation, transmission, sale and/or distribution of electricity to retail or end-use customers. In areas where power deregulation has occurred and unbundled electric service is available, customers can choose to purchase electricity from a variety of alternative sources at rates determined by market forces (while maintaining their current delivery arrangements), or may elect to stay with their current electric company under, in most cases, regulated rates.
