Abstract: Abstract The author illustrates electric utility and customer energy supply systems by breaking down the component parts of each supply system and explaining how integration of the systems results in energy savings. Background is provided on why energy supply systems have been built inefficiently and why the costs have increased. The issues of competition and regulation, especially utilities' obligation to provide electricity upon demand, are explained. She demonstrates how rebuilding the systems in concert can overcome investment risk, result in efficiency and reduce costs.
