What are the most effective
models
in
transitioning
from
monopoly
to
competitive
markets? What can be learned by comparing and contrasting the different models used
by
the
various
states?
Default provider service and
provider
of
last
resort
have
emerged
as
key
issues
in
the
success
or
failure
of
retail
restructuring
plans. States
and
provinces
have
adopted
a
diverse
set
of
policies
on
these
critical
issues
with
little
consensus
or
analysis
of
the
different
models.
The
Center
for
the
Advancement
of
Energy
Markets
(CAEM)
with
participation
of
about
50
organizations,
roughly
evenly
split
between
corporate
and
public
sector
groups,
has
been
examining
these
issues,
and
has
prepared
a
draft
report,
in
which
it
is
seeking
additional
industry
comment.
CAEM

Restructuring

up
