The last regulated major industry in America, the electric utility industry, is facing deregulation in the very near future. Similar to events that occurred in the gas industry a few years ago, it will soon be possible for facilities managers across the nation to choose their suppliers of electricity. Facility managers and owners are making plans now to maximize their opportunities. Many are looking for lower rates and barebones service while others are interested in creative options like enhanced services, premium power and value-added services from their incumbent power supplier and from other players, even now, before deregulation comes. One creative options that offers win-win benefits for all parties is a value-added service to take over operation of an existing central heating and cooling plant, or develop a new one, for an owner.
