(2) That competition is increasing in the provision of energy services in Indiana and the United States.

(5) That flexibility in the regulation of energy services providers is essential to the well-being of the state, its economy, and its citizens.
(6) That the public interest requires the commission to be authorized to issue orders and to formulate and adopt rules and policies that will permit the commission in the exercise of its expertise to flexibly regulate and control the provision of energy services to the public in an increasingly competitive environment, giving due regard to the interests of consumers and the public, and to the continued availability of safe, adequate, efficient, and economical energy service.
