About SD Electric Rates

In many states legislation has deregulated the electric industry, opening it to competition. This has had a profound effect on how electricity is sold in those states. For the electric industry, deregulation means the generation portion of electricity service will be open to competition. Utility bills for electricity now include one total price for generation, transmission and, distribution. The transmission and distribution of the electricity will remain regulated and your local utility company will continue to distribute electricity to you. It does not matter who you choose as your electricity-generation supplier, you will remain a customer of your local utility company for transmission, distribution, and local services. Your local utility company will be responsible for providing line repair and maintenance, and providing customer services, and billing.

Currently, in the deregulated states, a long time monopoly system of electric utilities has been replaced with competing suppliers. When competition is present in any market place the end user benefits. Deregulation of energy markets gives our clients the opportunity to compare rates of suppliers, decide who is the best fit for their energy consumption needs, switch providers of their electric generation and most importantly save money on a monthly basis.
