Role of Competitive Markets
Wholesale competition in the gas and electric industries has been evolving over the past few decades. During this time, merchant generators and regional transmission organizations developed and grew to provide a competitive and reliable marketplace for energy. Since the mid-90s, many states have chosen to restructure gas and electric markets at the retail level. Exelon Generation is a merchant generator that must rely on the wholesale market, rather than regulated utilities and their customers, to generate revenue for its product. Exelon Power Team and Exelon Energy help Exelon Generation to connect with customers and maximize the value of its generation.
Benefits of Competition [PDF | 36.8 KB]Competition improves operating performance, spurs innovative technologies and services, puts downward pressure on prices and promotes the most efficient growth in energy supply. In a competitive market, private investors, rather than consumers, bear all the financial costs and risks of generation plant construction, operation and ongoing maintenance including costly environmental compliance.
