Abstract
This paper introduces the differing attitudes and methodologies about effective utilization of waste-generated energy with regard to pre-deregulation and post-deregulation of electric utilities. It outlines what deregulation actually means. Up to now the main topics talked about with regard to waste-generated power were selling power at the highest possible price and purchasing the public facility at the lowest price. Following deregulation, these new forms of energy took on the power to freely decide costing for waste-generated energy and pricing for supplying power to public facilities.
The “power” + “power distribution” (consignment of new energy) + “retail” method of general electric companies can now make the changeover to new enterprises that specialize in distribution of renewable power. The circulation of funds brings increased profits while at the same time, free energy pricing keeps funds from leaving the area, which can contribute to stimulation of the local economy. The paper elucidates on why cities, towns and villages should agree to take in companies providing new forms of power and why they should supply power to public facilities. It also explores what risks accompany starting up these businesses and explores the factors involved in such risks with regard to planning for the launch of renewable energy sources.
