Common questions
What is deregulation?
Energy deregulation refers to the process of removing government controls over the energy market, allowing consumers to choose their energy suppliers instead of being assigned one by your local utility company.
In layman’s terms, it’s like how you can choose between different cell phone providers instead of being stuck with just one. This leads to more competition, resulting in a wider range of services and rates for consumers.
