Summary:

Summarizes, in tabular format, S. 237 and H.R. 655, which are both designed to address electricity restructuring. Discusses three components of each bill: provisions for retail competition, which would permit retail consumers to choose from whom they obtain their electricity supplies; provisions reforming section 210 of the Public Utility Regulatory Policy Act, which provides cogenerators and small power producers a guaranteed market for their power; and provisions reforming the Public Utility Holding Company Act, which regulates various financial transactions of large holdings companies having interests in public utility companies
