I generally dislike using the news media, so I am not planning to put it into an article, but here, for the talk page, is a plain-English explanation of recent economic measurements of the effects of deregulation: Why Are Energy Prices So High? Some Experts Blame Deregulation (there is a link to the actual research with conclusions that I have added to the article). This is NYT, so it is behind the paywall, so here is the short summary: in the places with deregulated electricity market, the prices are significantly higher, the average household difference is $40 per month (in the parentheses: this agrees with anecdotal evidence of people who move between the still very regulated US South and significantly deregulated West). The causes are two-fold (see the scientific article) available at [1]: (1) the generator, no longer under the regulatory pressure, extract much higher margins (2) the distribution companies add their own margin on top ("double marginalization" as the professors put it).

@ Hhjjkk774: Do I understand correctly that the "local flexibility markets" are just academic ideas at this point? If so, perhaps we should have a special section ("Directions of research"?), where we can separate this type of information so that the reader has easier time distinguishing between the current state of the art and the potential improvements?

I'd really like to improve this article. I might start making some initial edits now, but I'd appreciate any feedback on the direction.
Some thoughts:
