ElectriCities Warns: Slow Down on Dereg

LCG, Dec. 21, 2000--ElectriCities of North Carolina Inc., casting an eye 3,000 miles west to California's trouble electricity market, urged lawmakers in its home state yesterday to study deregulation further before doing anything rash.

ElectriCities, which represents 72 community electric systems in North Carolina, said the state legislature's Study Commission on the Future of Electric Service in North Carolina "should conduct further studies as to the actual impact of deregulation on all segments of consumers before legislation proceeds."

This is a turnaround for the agency, which previously endorsed an aggressive approach to deregulation. Times have changed, ElectriCities said, because of:

  • Problems with deregulation in California and other states.

  • A rise in wholesale prices for natural gas.

  • Insufficient study on market domination.

  • The need for public hearings to determine actual utility stranded costs.
