✦ Synopsis

Retail Electric Competition and Free Interstate Trade in the Southeast

While free trade leads to overall welfare gains, there will be losers as well as winners with retail electric competition and interstate trade. In low-price states, producers win but consumers lose, and the opposite occurs in high-price states. Unusual coalitions can be expected to form as the debate over retail competition evolves.
