- Duncan & Allen, Washington, DC (United States)
Two years ago municipal utilities were asking, {open_quotes}What will we do if competition comes? What will we do if retail wheeling comes?{close_quotes} When this speech was originally prepared last fall, they were asking not if, but when. Today, we know that the answer is NOW. Retail wheeling is currently taking place in Illinois and New Hampshire, is under active consideration in many states, and has been scheduled to begin in 1998 in others. Municipal utilities must plan now on the assumption that competition and retail wheeling are inevitable. They must plan now a strategy for retaining and gaining customers on the assumption that service territory protection will soon be gone, and customers will be able to choose their electric supplier. Municipal utilities that fail to compete effectively in the future may ultimately lose their systems.
