When the state initially deregulated the electricity market, I had little use for it. It wasn't that I loved our monopoly provider, BGE, it was more that I really didn't believe I would benefit from deregulation. A year or two ago, I finally found a benefit: Pepco Energy Services offered to sell me 100% wind power at at premium over the price of regular power. (For what it's worth, BGE's supply is, I believe, coal and nuclear).
