Hello!
Thank you very much for the great resources you are providing!
I could have sworn that in previous years there was a report on global deregulated retail energy markets. Is such a report still available?
Thank you very much for any help you can offer.

Wayne – From 1999-2003 there was a “Retail Energy Deregulation Index” (RED Index) report produced by the Center for the Advancement of Energy Markets (CAEM). You are right: in 2002-2003 that report expanded to include several other English-speaking countries — U.K., New Zealand, Australia — in addition to Canada and the United States. With appropriate funding, the ABACCUS report could be expanded to address these retail customer choice regions.
