Abstract :
This article explores the possible relationship between electric power outages and market deregulation in the United Kingdom and the United States. Two significant factors that could increase the risk of outages are the potential for increased in-grid congestion due to long-distance wheeling of power and the possibility of adverse changes in the resources devoted to maintenance, upgrade, and new construction of transmission and distribution facilities
