   Texas's deregulated electricity market raised consumer costs by $28B: WSJ   
      
      
   Texas’s deregulated electricity market has raised costs to consumers by   
   $28 billion since 2004, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis   
   published Wednesday.   
      
   The analysis found that consumers purchasing power from the deregulated   
   electricity market have paid significantly more than state residents   
   whose sources were traditional electric utilities.   
      
   The report comes after widespread power outages in Texas that left   
   millions of residents without power for days amid freezing temperatures.   
   That was followed by many households receiving sky-high electricity   
   bills, with warnings from experts that consumers are likely to be hit   
   with covering the costs for grid upgrades.
