Summary This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) paper looks at California's attempt to restructure its electric utility industry and at the crisis in the state's electricity market that began in 2000. The paper focuses on the various conditions in western states that put stress on California's energy market. It also examines some of the elements of the state's restructuring plan that turned that stress into a crisis.
