Abstract
With the passage of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, the process of deregulating the electric industry was begun. Because of this historic change toward a competitive arena, the utilities, their customers, and energy service providers have begun to reexamine their relationships. How will building owners, each with varying degrees of sophistication, choose their suppliers of these services? Who will supply them? What will it cost? How will it impact the tenants/occupants? How will the successful players bring forward the right product to the marketplace to stay profitable? And how will more and better energy purchases, commissioning, O and M, and energy services improve the bottom line? This article reviews the historic relationships between utilities, their customers, and energy service providers, and the tremendous possibilities for doing business in new and different ways. Of particular concern to building owners is who will be best able to supply these services in the future and if they will improve quality and reduce costs.
