Abstract
The electric utility industry in North America is undergoing a transformation unlike anything it has experienced in its history. Disassembly of the traditional vertically integrated utility is taking form in response to; pressure to privatize, customer choice demands, competition in the marketplace, improved quality of service and unfettered access to the transmission network. How will restructuring affect the reliability and quality of our electric power service? The author briefly discusses this issue.
