The electric utility industry in the United<br />

States is fiendishly complex. It has<br />

myriad industry players and a confusing<br />

mix of regulation and “deregulation”<br />

at both the federal and state levels.<br />

The purpose of this guide is <strong>to</strong> provide<br />

the basic background knowledge about<br />

the electric utility industry and its institutions<br />

(and, of course, the all-important<br />

acronyms!) necessary <strong>to</strong> understand<br />

the industry.<br />
