Beware of organized competitive electricity market critics who claim to speak for all consumers. They certainly do not speak for the growing contingent of COMPETE customer members who are helping communicate the economic and environmental benefits, and the technological innovation, that competition in electricity is delivering.
During a recent conference sponsored by Citizens for Pennsylvania’s Future (PennFuture), two representatives of COMPETE’s roster of customer members, manufacturer Leggett & Platt and retailer Wal-Mart, discussed how electricity competition saves money for consumers, stimulates renewable energy, and encourages innovation.
