Calif. vote spells end of energy deregulation 

Thu January 16, 2003 06:27 PM ET 
By Leonard Anderson 

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 16 (Reuters) - California's disastrous experiment
with 
energy deregulation ended with a whimper Thursday in a brief order
issued by 
state utility regulators. 

The five-member California Public Utilities Commission unanimously
voted to 
cancel an order from April 20, 1994, that set the state on a course
toward cheaper electricity through free market competition, letting
homeowners and businesses choose their power provider. 

Today's order, which CPUC Commissioner Carl Wood called "historically
significant," noted that restructuring the energy market was now
moot. 
"The commission should close this deregulation proceeding, not just
because there is no continuing need for it, but also because it was a
disaster for ratepayers, utilities and their employees," said Wood, a
harsh critic of the failed scheme. 

None of the commissioners who pushed for deregulation nine years ago
still sits on the CPUC. 

But their first steps toward making electricity a freely traded
commodity, taken amid great fanfare and the promise of cheaper
electricity, led in 1996 to a unanimous vote by California lawmakers
to deregulate the electricity market. 
Calling deregulation "the most expensive public policy mistake in the
history of California," Wood said the former CPUC's "almost religious
belief in market forces rather than regulation created an epic
disaster for ratepayers." 

The deregulation law urged the state's investor-owned utilities to
sell off their power plants to foster competition but forced them to
purchase power supplies from the wholesale market while capping the
rates they could charge customers. 

By spring 2000, wholesale power prices were soaring and the
California market was plunging into chaos, Wood said, adding "in each
of 2000 and 2001, Californians spent $20 billion more for electricity
than in 1999." 
The crisis worsened in late 2000-early 2001 with power blackouts, a
growing shortage of electricity supplies and a financial meltdown at
PG&E Corp.'s PCG.N giant Pacific Gas and Electric unit and Edison
International's EIX.N Southern California Edison subsidiary. 

Pacific Gas and Electric, California's biggest utility with 14
million customers, ran out of cash and credit and filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy protection in April 2001, while SoCalEdison worked out
a rescue plan with the CPUC. 

California officials also charged that big merchant energy companies
engaged in exotic electricity trading strategies to wrest huge
profits from the state. 
The state is trying to recover almost $9 billion dollars from them to
help pay the bills from the deregulation mess, estimated to cost the
state $45 billion. 
An aggressive campaign to add new power plants, stricter energy
conservation and emergency power purchases by the state have helped
stabilize the market, driving down power prices while building up
supplies. 

Rolling blackouts last struck California in May 2001.
