Electric Restructuring- Experience in other states
Shopping Credits vs. Delivery Service Tariffs • Shopping Credit approach starts from retail price • When an ESP (Energy Service Provider) attracts a retail customer, the customer receives a “shopping credit” on his bill for each kWh that is now supplied by the ESP rather than the UDC (Utility Distribution Co)

CA Experience • Unbundled Delivery Services • Power Exchange (PX) similar to a poolco • Customer have direct access to the wholesale market price • Choice started 4/1/98
