U.S. labor fears energy deregulation December 20, 2001 SAN FRANCISCO — Energy deregulation, tarnished by the collapse of once-mighty Enron Corp. and California's electricity crisis, is also under the gun from labor leaders and regulators. who warn it threatens the reliable delivery of power to consumers. They fear that deregulated power markets mean dangerously overused plants, fierce cost cutting, fewer — and nonunion — workers, loss of apprentice training programs, and a laser focus on profits over reliability. Not so, reply the independent power companies buying up plants from formerly regulated utilities. Companies like Chicago-based Midwest Generation, a unit of Edison International, are seeking to negotiate new labor contracts that boost productivity and make plants more cost efficient to make electricity at more competitive prices, said Doug McFarlan, a spokesman for Midwest. Labor leaders see it differently. "Under regulation, plants were shut down on regular schedules for needed maintenance. But now if a deregulated market is high priced, operators will push them flat out and ignore leaking tubes, valves, and other equipment,'' said Jim Dushaw, utility director at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) union. The IBEW, which represents about 220,000 utility employees in the United States and Canada, warns that in addition to breakdowns at plants and transmission grids, deregulation leads to smaller, less-experienced workforces as utilities sell their plants to the independent, unregulated power companies.

WATCHING THE catastrophe engulf California in recent monthsfrom flickering lights to rolling blackouts to power bills that look like luxury-car payments to the state-imposed surge in electricity pricesyou may be tempted to zap utility deregulation as one of the dumbest ideas of modern times. But don't be too hasty. When you look behind the headlines, and beyond the Golden State, the picture gets fuzzy. As we prepare to enter a summer of power travails and another winter of shocking gas bills, it pays to look back at this latest winter of discontent. Denise Rose and Annie Walker are homeowners who live a few blocks apart in the Lagrange section of Toledo, Ohio, a middle-income area of older, mostly two-story houses. Rose, a veterinary technician, can't help smiling as she tells how she dodged last winter's neighborhood scourge, the $250 gas bill. Two years ago, as "gas choice" spread in the city, a representative of Columbia Energy Services knocked on her door with an offer: Give us your business and you'll save 20% on the part of your bill that represents the cost of natural gas (about two-thirds of a typical residential bill). And if she made the switch, Columbia promised to lock in the current price of gas for one year.

Handfield As organizations continue to escalate the level of outsourcing, invest in core competencies, and identify areas for value improvement, energy procurement has quickly become a renewed target of managerial focus. This trend is evident in both capital-intensive manufacturing industries, as well as the services sector (financial, healthcare, etc.) that have high-energy facility costs. The phenomena sparking this renewal are the ongoing energy deregulation initiatives at the state levels, uncertainty in market structures, and rising energy costs. Political and economic instability in key oil-producing regions has exacerbated concerns regarding the steadiness of the global energy market supply.

Corporate Research E-Letter Corporate Research E-Letter No. 11, April 2001 Energy Deregulation: Lessons from the Golden State by Mafruza Khan In a few short weeks during the summer of 1996, the California legislature rushed through AB1890, the energy deregulation bill that is now being regarded as a colossal failure by all and blamed for the state's ongoing energy crisis. As one writer comments, "If California's misbegotten electricity deregulation scheme is ever reduced to canvas or film, the artist would have to be some cross between Hieronymus Bosch and Federico Fellini. At one level, it is a surreal story of grossly compounded economic errors, at another, a gruesome morality tale." It isn't very hard to understand why AB1890 did not work it was based on wrong assumptions, incorrect forecasting and manipulated by corporate executives and politicians. The consequences of the bill - in addition to up to a 46 percent rate hike for consumers, $4.6 billion in taxpayer monies spent by the state to pay for electricity in the spot market, and a backlash on environmental regulations, including a resurgence of nuclear power - remain to be seen (and felt) in the future. It has also led to the largest investor-owned utility bankruptcy filing in history (the third-largest corporate bankruptcy filing ever) by Pacific Gas and Electric Company.

Corporate Research E-Letter No. 11, April 2001 Energy Deregulation: Lessons from the Golden State by Mafruza Khan On April 25 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, reversing their previous stance, offered Californians some respite from the energy crisis in their state by imposing broad price controls on electricity sales in California. Under the order, price controls would be triggered only if grid managers declare an emergency because electricity reserves fell to below 7 percent. The decision goes against the Bush administration's position opposing federal intervention in the state's energy market. The caps are to go into effect May 1 and last for a year and should help California save billions of dollars it would otherwise pay to electricity generators that state officials have accused of price gouging. The state's energy crisis, the result of a flawed deregulation effort that has been manipulated by corporations and politicians, should serve as a lesson for the remaining 42 states that are planning to deregulate electricity in the future. In a few short weeks during the summer of 1996, the California legislature rushed through AB1890, the energy deregulation bill that is now being regarded as a colossal failure by all and blamed for the state's ongoing energy crisis.

The Green Party of New Jersey Updated May 2, 1999 Position Paper on Energy Deregulation Meetings and Events Join Us News Update 10 Key Values ... 1998 Green Party Candidates New Jersey's Energy Deregulation David D. Gregory Background: Energy Policy Consumption of non-renewable fuels is climbing and reserves are rapidly diminishing. This global industrial metabolism is deeply flawed, resulting in immense negative consequences, from pollution and social conflicts to economic and military impacts. We believe that a new energy policy is critical to these issues of economic, ecological and cultural sustainability. Our goal is a transition to a more efficient use of energy, a structured deregulation and decentralization which allows a diverse, dynamically stable, and adaptable system of power generation from new sources which are non-polluting, highly efficient, safe, and reliable. Our policies support research on the development of solar photovoltaics, fuel cell technology, hydrogen fuels, wind, hydro, and gas turbine co-generation. Deregulation All 50 states are deregulating their utility companies, hoping to increase competition and reduce rates for their citizens. The trend has great possibilities, and problems. With full disclosure about sources of power, removal of government subsidies and regulatory loopholes, the true costs of power generation will become apparent, opening a gateway for alternative energy suppliers. In California, "net metering" has already brought renewable energy systems into a far greater number of households, businesses, and institutions. It also allows consumers to boycott Nuclear Power Plants.

News Intelligence Analysis NEWS RELEASE Oct 14, 2003 CONTACT: Doug Heller - 310-392-0522 x309 Gov-elect Schwarzenegger Should Come Clean About Ken Lay Meeting Or Face Inquiry, Group Says Energy Deregulation Agenda Criticized Santa Monica, CA Governor-elect Schwarzenegger must explain the substance of his private May 2001 meeting with Enron chief Ken Lay, the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights (FTCR) wrote in a letter to Schwarzenegger today. Read the letter. FTCR, which was the state's most vocal critic of Governor Davis' handling of the energy crisis, said that if the governor-elect did not recount the meeting by the time of his inauguration, the group would ask state lawmakers to open an investigation to uncover the substance of the meeting, including any information that might further the state's efforts to return billions of dollars that taxpayers and consumers overpaid for electricity during the energy crisis. "A meeting with the biggest corporate crook in recent memory, while he and his firm were in the midst of ripping off the state, should not be taken lightly," FTCR wrote. "As Governor, you must explain to Californians what you were doing at that meeting, what information Ken Lay shared with you and how the meeting has influenced your thinking on energy issues." In addition to calling on Schwarzenegger to come clean about the meeting with Ken Lay, the group highlighted key aspects of the governor-elect's energy program that reflect an Enron-perspective on energy policy. In the letter, FTCR asked Schwarzenegger to rewrite his energy policy and remove his push for further energy deregulation.

Did you know that the President of First Energy personally donated $100,000 to Bush's election? The company also donated $100,000 as a Bush pioneer. With Bush now getting his way on the energy bill, this looks quite "fishy" to me. The Senate passed it, and the Democrats let it go through. Ohio almost had a nuclear meltdown a while back due to First Energy, yet no punishment was received. Will there be any reparations due to this blackout? When the energy monopolies own the legislature, you can figure the answer out. Dennis Kucinich has made a career out of tackling the energy monopolies, and is the only Presidential candidate to continue to speak out. (see www.kucinichdeancompare.com)

Advancing Universal Service, Affordability, and Customer Protection for Residential Utility Consumers. Energy Deregulation Changing Some Price Rules: Nimo Holds Seminar to Guide Commercial Users on Keeping Costs Stable Times Union - June 17, 2004 Come January, about 4,300 of Niagara Mohawk's commercial electricity customers will be adrift in a sea of volatile energy prices. As part of the gradual deregulation of New York's energy markets, NiMo will stop hedging power prices for mid- to large-sized business customers those using 200 to 2,000 megawatts of electricity. Unless clients want completely unpredictable bills, they need to find other companies to supply their juice. On Wednesday, the utility held a seminar at the Holiday Inn in Saratoga Springs to help companies that have not yet made the switch learn about their options. Workshops also will be held in Syracuse today and in Buffalo on Tuesday. With two hours of presentations and a market expo where several energy service companies plied their power, the event drew about 80 customers. "We're hoping to find a company that will sell us energy, and hopefully beat NiMo's prices," said Jerry Palma, director of environmental services for Teresian House, a nursing home in Albany.

80. Understanding Deregulation As it relates to the energy industry, deregulation allows individuals and How does energy deregulation work? Three different groups are involved in http://www.econnergy.com/KnowledgeBase/UnderstandingDeregulation.aspx

The Smarter Energy Choice Home About ECONnergy Why ECONnergy Our Rates ... Careers @ Econnergy Understanding Deregulation What is deregulation? Deregulation is the opening up of a good or service to competition. As it relates to the energy industry, deregulation allows individuals and companies to choose their energy service provider. Why deregulate? When a single company has a monopoly, it controls the price for a particular good or service. With deregulation comes competition, an increased incentive to keep prices low, and the possibility of improved service. How does energy deregulation work? Three different groups are involved in delivering electricity or gas to your home or business. Suppliers . They sell the commodity, the actual electricity or natural gas you consume. Interstate transportation or transmission companies . They transport the energy supply from its source (e.g. gas from Texas or Louisiana) to the receiving station of the utility. Local distribution companies . They deliver the electricity via wires and gas via pipes. The first two are open to competition; the third is not.
