    The company that maintains the lines is typically not the same company that generates the power. That’s why you can shop for electricity providers.

      Who can ship for electricity?

      I have literally never heard of this anywhere.

      It’s like Internet. You get one provider who puts wires up to your home. That’s it. Don’t like it? Good luck physically moving your home elsewhere.

        Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Texas all have deregulated markets which allow for it.

        California, Georgia, Michigan, Oregon, and Virginia have partially deregulated markets.
