Please Blame the Deregulation and Regulation Fiascos Parte 24

Thanks Len.

The road to Electricity WPC requires many hurdles to be passed. Metering is just one of the components. A demand response system is another. Still Customer Information System an additional one. On the wires side, a clean slate reengineering is a recommended approach to integrate data coming from retailers.

My suggestion is that retail marketers compete with other retail marketers based on theirs business model innovations. There are many posible approaches to retail marketing and by selecting a given advanced metering component design will be taking the associated risk. When I participated at the last AMRA meeting there were many possibilities available, many of which were not end to end solutions.

Competitive retailers regulation should be changed to prudential regulation,similar to that of the banking industry. Regulation for T&D should stay as is .
