Whatever Happened to the Promise of Cheaper Electricity?

The promise of cheaper electricity through industry restructuring has not materialized as expected. Despite the theory that market restructuring would lower consumer costs, there's been little to no noticeable benefit for consumers. This has raised questions about the actual impact of such reforms and whether they've lived up to their initial promise. The lack of consumer benefit is significant because it challenges the belief that free-market approaches inherently lead to lower prices for essential services.
