Energy Deregulation 101 (Video)

This is a fairly simple and educational video -- even if it's a bit cheesy, repetitive and posted by someone selling a service. It explains how deregulation in Pennsylvania electricity creates competition. That competition provides a market (you and your neighbors) with better pricing and service.

Some myths it dispels:
  • The electricity from another provider will be different from PECO (wrong)
  • Service to the home will be different (nope- PECO still services your home and neighborhood)
  • Quality of electricity will be different based on price or provider (for instance when you buy a Panasonic camera from Amazon.com or a high-end electronics store, it's still the same camera).
