From Electric Power Supply Association [1]:
- With the introduction of competition in the 1990s, competitive generators immediately began to reduce power plant outages [2] and invest in reliability-enhancing innovation relative to monopolies (R Street Institute, 2021 [3]).
- Joining an organized market has led to improved reliability in monopoly states like Louisiana [4] (R Street Institute, 2021 [3]).
