NY Energy Plan Endorses Competition

On August 10, 2009, the New York State Energy Planning Board released a draft of its 2009 State Energy Plan for public review in an effort to "enable the State to determine its future energy needs and facilitate a deliberate, efficient, and cost-effective means of meeting those needs." The report notes the numerous benefits consumers have enjoyed following the implementation of wholesale electricity markets, including new entry of generation resources, increased demand response, and improved plant availability. These attributes serve to further show how competitive markets are providing nearly 20 million New York residents with reliable, economical, and clean energy resources.
Restructured Markets Produce Savings

After a period of steady increases in electricity prices nationwide regardless of state regulatory structures, consumers in states with restructured electricity markets are beginning to see rate decreases as the costs of fuel and other commodities involved in electricity generation have leveled off or decreased. Ameren Illinois Utility customers will be paying less for electricity this summer, after the company announced an 8 percent drop in prices beginning June 1. The decrease comes as a result of a sharp decline in wholesale electricity prices following a reduction in general energy demand. ComEd customers in Illinois can expect to see a drop in electricity prices, beginning in June 2009. A dramatic drop in the cost of electricity purchased through a competitive procurement process is responsible for the decrease in residential electricity prices.

Insight

Competition in electricity markets - as with competitive market structures for other commodities - creates incentives for efficiency and innovation while providing the most affordable prices consistent with long-term investments. From 1995-2004, significant gains in efficiency, attributable to competitive markets, were seen in coal and nuclear plants in the eastern United States. Competition also led to the innovation and increased deployment of new gas-fired generation technologies providing significant new efficiencies and environmental controls. These efficiency gains translate to reduced fuel use, lower costs, lower emissions and fewer power plants needed to meet demand.

Energy expenses account for one-third of a typical commercial real estate operating budget, making energy the industry's largest operating expense. In response to this economic reality, Atlas Scinergy recently announced a special program that will help members of the Illinois Rental Property Owners Association (IRPOA) take advantage of historically low energy prices. Through Atlas Scinergy's Gold Standard Donations Program, IRPOA members will have access to a suite of cost-management services, while raising funds for IRPOA's initiatives.
