5. Electricity Deregulation
The objective of deregulation is to offer energy customers a greater
choice, both among suppliers and services. Ideally, that will result
in increased efficiency and dollar savings to the customer.
U.S. Department of Energy
“ Energy is the last major industry to deregulate! ”
6. What is Deregulation?
Deregulation divided the electricity business into 3 parts:
Generation
Delivery
Supply
7. Deregulation / Generation
Generation is how electricity is produced … some examples:
Natural Gas - Coal - Nuclear - Oil - Solar Wind
These types of generation are produced at energy power plants and the
energy produced is sent to the GRID to sell to energy suppliers.
8. Deregulation / Delivery
Delivery is the Utilities delivery of the energy.
The utility companies are responsible for making sure the consumer
receives their energy through the power line etc.
TDSP Charges – (transmission and distribution service provider)
Delivery charges usually consist of:
Transmission> Funds to maintain the Power lines.
Demand Side Management> Funds allowing for customers to
٠become more energy efficient.
Renewable Energy> a Statewide Green Energy Charge
9. Deregulation / Supply
Supply is the actual kWh used by the consumer.
The Supply portion of the bill is the kWh usage that the home or
company has used in any given month.
The utility is usually the default biller of supply, and cannot make
or lose money on this side of the business, so it makes sense for
a customer to go with a 3rd party supplier.
Supply is also what your commission is based on.
10. Electricity Overview
Facts about Electricity
Electricity is measured in units of power called
watts. One watt is a small amount of power.
kilowatt (kW) represents 1,000 watts.
kilowatt-hour (kWh) is equal to the energy of
1,000 watts working for one hour.
The amount of electricity a power plant generates
or a customer uses over a period of time is
measured in kilowatt hours.

12. Things to think about !
Volatile natural gas prices:
Who knows the coming of the next major hurricane?
Who knows how cold this winter will be?
Who knows if we will have a summer heat wave?
Who knows if we will have economic disruptions?
Remove the uncertainty!
Control your household budget.
Get a guaranteed ‘price protected’ fixed rate plan.
Your rate remains the same for the term of your contract.
Your local company still reads your meter and provides
emergency services.
Peace of mind.

26. Money … Money … Money !
Commission is calculated & governed by several factors
Market
Contract Size
Competition
Commission is a millage on the TERM kWh contract.
A customer using 2,000,000 kWh a year who contracts for
three years. This is 6,000,000 TERM kWh.
Term kWh x Millage = REP Commission
27. Money Makers
Good Credit !
kWh demand of 500,000 kWh and up !
Current contract expires within 12 months
We can write a contract today, and lock in
today’s rate, then flow the energy the following
month after expiration of the current contract … even
if the expiration date is a year away!

million kWh term contracts per month.

30. How Commissions Are Paid
Total Available Commission (TAC) is usually known at the time the client contract is
submitted. Should it vary, you will be notified.
TAC is the commission due the rep over the entire term of the deal and is “As Earned”.
The commission is earned as the power is consumed.
PRO Players Power & Gas will advance up to 30% of the total TAC within 45 days of
the customer’s normal billing cycle less REP and company clawback protection.
Up to 30% of the TAC will be advanced on the second anniversary of the contract and
the final 30% on the third anniversary of the contract.
An “advance fee” is deducted from the commission by the REP, this is a fee for
advancing the commission. Consider that the REP takes the risk for the commission
advance payment. The commission has not yet been earned because the power has
not been consumed. Clawback protection!
Some markets do not advance commission payments.
