The evolution to competition in the electric utility industry is changing the way electricity is supplied to many customers.
Just as the transportation, communication and natural gas industries were deregulated in the past, federal mandates are changing the electric industry as well. Many states are developing new rules that will govern the relationships between the regulated and non-regulated affiliates of electric utilities.
On May 23, 2001 the North Carolina Utilities Commission established Codes of Conduct that will govern transactions between Dominion North Carolina Power and its affiliates while conducting business in North Carolina.
