Four Key Advantages of Energy Deregulation

Based in New York City, New York, RPA Energy focuses on providing superior customer service while delivering a range of energy solutions to its customers. RPA Energy is licensed to supply electricity and natural gas, and offers clients a range of energy solutions and pricing options within the deregulated energy market.

A deregulated energy market is one in which a government passes laws that give consumers the right to choose who their electricity and natural gas suppliers are. Four of the main benefits of a deregulated energy market are described below.

1. Customers get better service. In a competitive, deregulated energy market, companies focus on providing excellent customer service to their clients to gain new customers and retain the ones they have.

2. Consumers save on the cost of energy. With multiple energy suppliers operating in a deregulated market, competition tends to drive energy prices down, since companies strive to offer competitive rates to please consumers.

3. Green energy is an option for consumers. Research demonstrates that many consumers prefer to use green energy sources out of concern for the environment. In a deregulated market, consumers have the choice of purchasing environmentally friendly energy from a supplier that offers this option.

4. Service interruptions are avoided. Customers who switch energy providers won’t experience an interruption in service, since energy distribution and delivery is consistent in a deregulated market.
