tmrand - 1/29/2021 09:19 Part of what you're not accounting for...........is that these large generation companies are only going to work if they make "X" profit. If a few people do things to shave off their peak consumption.........it'll be great for those few. If the masses start doing it.........it'll be a whole different set of numbers to work with. One thing I know............is that these big generation plants aren't just going to keep selling power cheap...........and produce less of it without a fight of some kind, be it pricing or ?? In the end we may use less power.................but we most certainly won't be spending less money.
100% Correct on all of it but the last sentence is solid gold.
It takes $'s to operate the grid. Less usage from the grid = more service charges to make up the shortfall.
