Energy is one of the largest operating expenses for businesses—yet many business owners don’t realize they have choices when it comes to who supplies their electricity or natural gas. In deregulated energy markets, businesses are no longer locked into a single utility supplier. Instead, they can shop, compare, and choose competitive energy providers that better fit their needs.
At EKP Legacy Marketing & Consulting, we help businesses navigate deregulated energy markets to reduce costs, stabilize pricing, and gain long-term control over their energy spend.
What Is Deregulated Energy?
Deregulated energy refers to markets where energy supply has been opened to competition. While your local utility still owns and maintains the power lines, meters, and infrastructure, you are free to choose your energy supplier.
In regulated markets, the utility controls everything—from generation to delivery to pricing. In deregulated markets, energy generation and supply are competitive, allowing businesses to select suppliers offering better rates, flexible contracts, and customized solutions.
How Deregulated Energy Works
Even in a deregulated market, the utility does not go away. Instead, roles are divided:
Utility Company: Delivers energy, maintains infrastructure, responds to outages, and handles meters.
Energy Supplier: Provides electricity or natural gas and sets the supply price.
Energy Broker (EKP): Represents the business, shops the market, negotiates pricing, and manages the process.
The energy itself doesn’t change—only the rate, contract terms, and supplier do.
Benefits of Deregulated Energy for Businesses

2. Price Stability

3. Contract Flexibility

4. No Service Interruptions
