In September, 1999, Texas enacted its groundbreaking retail electric deregulation law. Although not immediate in effect, the legislation eventually ushered in some of the biggest changes ever for Texas electricity consumers. No longer would giant, vertical-integrated utilities maintain their monopoly grip on home electricity service. No longer would Austin political appointees determine directly the price of air conditioning and lighting in all parts of Texas.In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the law, the Texas Coalition for Affordable Power has released an updated version if its signature report, Electric Deregulation in Texas: A Market Chronicle. The book, organized chronologically in a year-by-year fashion, describes key deregulation-related events, beginning with those years prior to the adoption of the 1999 law and up through 2019. It includes more than 20 sequential chapters, each focusing on individual years. The report updates an earlier version first released in 2009 by TCAP for the law's 10-year anniversary.

The report - an update of one originally released in 2009 - is presented as "A Market Annual" because it describes key electric market-related events in Texas, but organized chronologically in a year-by-year fashion. The report includes a preliminary section describing the period before the passage of the state's retail electric deregulation law as well as more than a dozen separate annual sections beginning in 1999 and running through 2017.

This report has focused on soaring electricity rates in Texas and its influence to the poor families, generators and other market participants in Texas electricity market. Industry analysts thought the deregulation of Texas electricity market has caused the surge of the market price of electricity and the deregulation has failed since its beginning. New data from a generators' group supported that the deregulation in Texas is working and the price of electricity hasn't increased since deregulation. Many generators even got bankrupt because of the low rates. New facts found that the increase of electricity rates was caused by the surging surcharges for establishing the necessary infrastructure for wind electricity. Tax credits for customers should be offered to let them share the benefits of renewable energy. Politicians are acting now to curb the electricity price and protect customers in the deregulated market.

The electric power industry is moving away from a regulated utility model, toward a deregulated market-based model - thereby intending to improve system efficiency by reducing generation costs and customer prices, while at the same time improving capital expenditures and service reliability. This paper is the first in the literature to statistically test Texas' electricity prices, relative to U.S. electricity prices - and use energy emergency alerts and reserve margin forecasts to determine Texas' power system reliability - since deregulation in 2002. Implementation of suggested reforms will help ensure the market-based design succeeds. Recommendations are offered for future research.

The electricity market has experienced enormous setbacks in delivering on the promise of deregulation. In theory, deregulating the electricity market would increase the efficiency of the industry by producing electricity at lower costs and passing those cost savings on to customers. As Electricity Deregulation shows, successful deregulation is possible, although it is by no means a hands-off process—in fact, it requires a substantial amount of design and regulatory oversight. This collection brings together leading experts from academia, government, and big business to discuss the lessons learned from experiences such as California's market meltdown as well as the ill-conceived policy choices that contributed to those failures. More importantly, the essays that comprise Electricity Deregulation offer a number of innovative prescriptions for the successful design of deregulated electricity markets. Written with economists and professionals associated with each of the network industries in mind, this comprehensive volume provides a timely and astute deliberation on the many risks and rewards of electricity deregulation.
