Big country
50 states
Diverse energy resources and costs
Electric power sector organization and regulation was
historically primarily the responsibility of the states
Federal (FERC) historical role very small and its statutory
authority modest
Liberalization involves major increase of federal over state
regulatory authority, creating state-federal tensions
No broad national commitment to liberalization of the electricity
sector. Very diverse regional views
California mess in 2000-2001 slowed down reforms in other
states
August 2003 blackout is being used by opponents of further
reform
