States with Partial Deregulation:

Some states have partial deregulation, meaning that not all regions or types of consumers (residential vs. commercial) have access to energy choice. Examples include:

  • Oregon (electricity partially deregulated for certain consumers)

Energy deregulation can vary widely in terms of implementation and impact, so it is always good to check the specific policies and available options in each state.
