Depending on your geographical location, savings are being forecasted between $14-$21 per month depending on your electric provider. The Texas plan ranks among the best in the country in its approach to electric restructuring through reasons like uniform business practices and codes of conduct that were not present during the deregulation of California. The state is primed for a successful transition into a competitive electric retail market and other states are watching as well to see how smoothly the transition proceeds. Others hoping to benefit from deregulation are the Private Energy Producers (PEP's) who will construct and operate new power plants across the state. The Calpine's, Duke Energy's and the Kinder Morgan Power's of the world will replace familiar utility company names like Reliant Energy, American Electric Power and TXU Electric on electric bills. The majority of Texans will be able to choose a new Retail Electric Provider (REP) as of January 1, 2002 and up to 5% of customers are getting a head start on electric choice by participating in a pilot program. Customers can pick and choose a provider based on whether they want to save money, support environmentally friendly sources of generation, seek better customer service, or stay with a brand name they know and trust. In Texas alone, Industrialinfo.com is tracking 49 PEP projects. These projects are in various phases of development from planned, engineered and under construction. In all, these projects represent some 33,447MW of electric generation capacity and have an estimated construction value of over $19.6 billion. Industrialinfo.com speculates all 49 new power plants to be on-line by 2006. Industrialinfo.com provides daily news related to the industrial market place including industry alerts and databases for the energy and industrial markets. For more information on trends and upcoming construction activities for the Energy and Power markets as well as other industrial sectors send inquiries to powergroup@industrialinfo.com or visit us at www.industrialinfo.com. --30--AS/na* CONTACT: Industrial Information Resources Inc., Houston Joseph Govreau, 713/783-5147 KEYWORD: TEXAS INDUSTRY KEYWORD: ENERGY UTILITIES SOURCE: Industrial Information Resources Inc.
