There is a better approach: true deregulation of the electric utility industry--generation, transmission and distribution.
There, the Colorado Springs Utility is preparing electrical engineers with an expertise in transmission and distribution.
In addition, DG offers the ability to defer costly transmission and distribution system upgrades and enables fuel hedging.

Basically, it is onsite generation located close to existing transmission and distribution infrastructure.

Electricity transmission and distribution are still overwhelmingly in the hands of government entities.
The next weak link in the power-deregulation chain is transmission and distribution .
The company produces electrical steels for makers of power transmission and distribution equipment.
While building new transmission and distribution infrastructure can be a multiyear process, storage can be deployed quickly, Lin pointed out.
Mr Sarkozy's second plan is for Areva to take on Alstom's trains and trams as well as its transmission and distribution assets.
Ten private firms now handle generation, transmission and distribution in specific regions, supplemented by two big wholesalers, of which J-Power is one.
Allowances would be given to electric transmission and distribution companies to pass on to ratepayers, a provision initiated by the Chicago utility Exelon.
New York, eclipsed entirely by escalating transmission and distribution costs.
Deregulation laws passed by many states in the late 1990s required vertically integrated utilities to separate their generation, transmission and distribution businesses in order to foster more competition and lower prices.
The new product platform provides a suite of solutions for applications and services across the entire the power distribution process, ranging from power generation, transmission and distribution, to utilization and automation.
FORBES: GE Targets High-Growth Power Equipment Market with Packaged Solutions
Utility officials say the problem isn't just that hundreds of miles of power lines are down, but that the entire infrastructure, including major transmission and distribution lines and power plants themselves, suffered significant damage.
Pols and power bureaucrats have been seized with the notion that the generation of electricity can be free of bureaucratic oversight but that the transmission and distribution of power must remain in a regulatory straitjacket.
Finally, both of these changes are being enabled through the integration of smart grid technology in the power transmission and distribution grid, which moves not only electrons but also information effectively through our energy networks.
Since the 1920s the emphasis has been on increasing conventional generating unit size up to a now optimal size of 600, 000 kW. These must employ transmission and distribution lines to integrate electrical loads which almost always are much smaller, and also to integrate generating units to permit reserve sharing.
" The 27 members handpicked by the President recommended that he support "policies that facilitate the safe, thoughtful and timely development of pipeline, transmission and distribution projects, " and they warned that failing to do so "would stall the engine that could become a prime driver of U.S. jobs and growth in the decades ahead.
However now, with the fuel cells being so fuel efficient in small sizes, and their cost rapidly declining with volume manufacture, we seem to be coming to a tipping point where distributed fuel cell generation may be less expensive than conventional integrated generation, particularly when the cost of transmission and distribution is increasing so rapidly.
Up to now, those scale economies of fuel efficiency and of capital cost in these large generating units have been so great as to be able to absorb the additional cost of transmission and distribution and still be lower than any competing form of electrical generation (except of course where plentiful hydroelectric generation could be built).
One of the biggest is that markets and regulators currently recognize just three types of businesses on the grid: generation, transmission, and distribution.
Northern Ireland Electricity was floated on the Stock Exchange and retained responsibility for transmission, distribution and the supply of power.
At the top of the priority list must be improving the resilience of the nation's electric power generation, transmission, and distribution systems.
