«The Governor has deployed more than 100 National Guard to the region, worked with impacted
utilities to restore power to more than 20,000 homes and
businesses, and aggressive recovery efforts — which have never once paused — will continue full stop
until cleanup is completed.»
All consumers, including general households and small - scale
business establishments (low - voltage contract consumers), can now choose freely among power companies (electricity retailers) for their electricity, and do not have to simply buy from the regional power
utilities that monopolized the market
until now.
