Your electric bill is paying for more than just power... It's covering expensive shareholder financing, too. Securitization uses more low-interest bonds instead of high-cost equity to pay off debt. Simple fix, real savings for ratepayers. blog.greenenergyconsumers.org/blog/securit...

Securitization Can Lower Electricity Bills
Securitization can cut electricity bills by replacing costly utility equity financing with low-interest bonds. See how and why MA and other states are using it.
