Title: Public power: Creating success in the evolving electricity industry

Journal Article · · Electricity Journal

Public power needs to challenge the status quo, identify and focus on its core competencies, and find partners that possess the financial strength and complementary skills to help it better serve its communities in a competitive marketplace. The energy industry in North America is undergoing a rapid and profound transformation as natural gas, electric power, and energy services evolve from a regulated structure to a competitive one. This evolution will have dramatic effects on the public power sector. The complexities created by the transition to a multidimensional open market will make it increasingly difficult for those in public power to remain competitive. However, public power can thrive in an open market by resisting the status quo, capitalizing on its strengths, and developing the complementary skills necessary for success through alliances and partnerships.
