The purpose of deregulation is to foster competition among electricity suppliers with the medium and long-term goal of combating the high prices maintained by government-sanctioned regional monopolies over the past decade. There are signs that deregulation of the electricity supply market is working as designed. For example, over the past 24 months there have been more applications to commence construction of power plants across the United States than there have been over the course of the past ten years combined.
