  7. The Big Picture • “The overriding lesson of history is the need to balance market power. History shows that balance cannot be created by regulatory rules alone--it must be in the market structure…a strong consumer presence is essential to help balance the influence of suppliers and make competition work….The coalitions formed…with public power systems, rural cooperatives, municipal associations, consumer advocacy and environmental groups, and labor organizations--provide a valuable example of combined interests that might help to balance market power in both state and regional structures” • -- Scott Ridley, “Profile of Power” (1996)

  8. “California is experiencing major problems with electricity supply and pricing caused by policies and procedures adopted over the past ten years. This summer, California has seen both electricity price volatility – exemplified by huge increases in wholesale electric prices and increases in retail prices in San Diego – and supply and delivery system instability – culminating in unprecedented black-outs in the Bay Area. These serious, but thus far isolated, examples represent a precursor of what lies ahead for California’s economy over the next 30 months. California’s reliability deficits and retail price volatility may not improve in that time without a mid-course correction.” • --PUC Report to the Governor on Utility Deregulation (Aug. 2, 2000) Executive Summary
