Energyshop.com is a natural gas and electricity contract price comparison service that displays consumer choices to help shop for and make a decision on contracts. Energyshop.com provides price comparison charts based on the zip or postal codes and provides many pages of market information for consumers to use. Deregulation of energy markets in North America Deregulation swept through many industries, including airlines, financial services and energy. Many states and provinces now have deregulation of energy supply to varying degrees. . Energy delivery in the form of pipelines or transmission lines and distribution infrastructure has retained monopoly status, but supply has not. This has created choice for consumers; which some consider a boon and others consider a bane. History Energyshop.com was founded in 1999 by Gregg Scott and Ian MacLellan. The initial web site content was related to natural gas for homeowners in Ontario, Canada. Over subsequent years it has expanded content to cover deregulated gas and electricity jurisdictions in Canada, and many US States. There have been many other commercial energy price comparison sites, but most have discontinued this service (ie Energy.com, energyon.com, lowermybills.com). There are several still in operation, such as Whitefence Saveonenergy electricitytexas and Energyshop. Some jurisdictions have a regulator controlled or mandated price comparison site. Examples in Canada are British Columbia and Alberta. Examples in the US are Michigan and Texas. Deregulated suppliers in those utility areas are required to post their prices.
