The evolution of competition in the U.S. natural gas industry has followed a predictable course. Wellhead deregulation stimulated pipeline restructuring, which in turn has provoked a debate over gas-service restructuring at the retail level. Over the last several years, almost all local gas distribution companies (LDCs) in the U.S. have established stand-alone transportation service allowing industrial customers to purchase gas supplies in the open market. By all accounts, service unbundling to large retail customers has achieved significant cost savings to these customers.

Consistent Regulation – Branko Terzic

🔍 Why Consistent Regulation Matters for Energy & Utilities
Predictable regulation isn’t just a policy goal—it’s a business necessity. When similar cases lead to similar outcomes, companies can plan confidently, reduce risk, and lower capital costs.
But inconsistency—delays, unpredictable decisions—creates uncertainty, drives up financing costs, and discourages investment. This challenge isn’t limited to the U.S.; it’s global.

âś… Solution: Regulators should prioritize clear accounting standards and minimize procedural uncertainty. The result? Stronger markets, investor confidence, and fairer prices for consumers.
Key takeaway: Stability in regulation = stability in the energy future.

From Luxury to Necessity: The Story of Utilities
By Branko Terzic
https://www.brankoterzic.com/public-utility-services-from-luxury-to-necessity/

In 1907, electricity and telephones were luxuries—only 8% of U.S. homes had power, and phone service cost up to $5/month when wages were $17!
State regulation began that year, paving the way for fair rates and universal access.
Appliances and radio turned electricity into a must-have, transforming modern life.
