AUS operates within deregulated markets, so these are your areas of opportunity.
Deregulation has involved legislation at both the national and state level. Each state has taken a different course: some are fully deregulated, some have held off, some have suspended their programs. So opportunities vary, but every state has some deregulated markets. For example, large volume commercial and industrial users can purchase their natural gas competitively in every state.
Terminology varies as well. Deregulation may be called "restructuring" and natural gas deregulation may be called "unbundling." "Choice program" is also a popular term.
