Distribution prices are set exactly how they were set before deregulation. The ONLY part of your bill that is affected by deregulation is the energy charge.

Tranmission and distribution prices are a percentage of your consumption charge, as well as a cost based on your peak demand over a 12 month period (or they were 5 yrs ago when I was following it). Therefore, the higher your cunsumption charge the higher your T&D charges. Line charges have come up since deregulation, as well as the municipal charges (MCAF), so they're not set the same as they were before deregulation.

power prices have been BELOW what could have been achieved under regulation for the last two years as power developers have been making very poor returns.

I haven't followed Power Pool pricing the last few years, but I find that kind of hard to believe. Do you have any data on this? I'm curious to see if prices have in fact stabilized.
