Deregulated Electricity in Texas: A Market Chronicle (20th Anniversary Edition)

By R a Dyer

In September, 1999, Texas enacted its groundbreaking retail electric deregulation law. Although not immediate in effect, the legislation eventually ushered in some of the biggest changes ever for Texas electricity consumers. No longer would giant, vertical-integrated utilities maintain their monopoly grip on home electricity service. No longer would Austin political appointees determine directly the price of air conditioning and lighting in all parts of Texas.In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the law, the Texas Coalition for Affordable Power has released an updated version if its signature report, Electric Deregulation in Texas: A Market Chronicle. The book, organized chronologically in a year-by-year fashion, describes key deregulation-related events, beginning with those years prior to the adoption of the 1999 law and up through 2019. It includes more than 20 sequential chapters, each focusing on individual years. The report updates an earlier version first released in 2009 by TCAP for the law's 10-year anniversary.
