Electricity is really just organized lightning.
George Carlin
For those who aren’t in to power, the NE market for energy is generally $20/MW to $30/MW (2 cents/kW to 3 cents/kW). Market pricing at $8/MW (0.8/kW)? Wow.
Note that the residential rate is 18 cents per kW. Before deregulation, energy and transmissions were about equal. After deregulation, energy dropped but Transmission & Distribution (T&D) increased to about 8 cents to 12 cents per kW and power dropped. Out local rates stayed about the same initially but are now increasing at ~2 cents/kW per year..
Why is electricity so expensive these days? Why does it cost so much for something I can make with a balloon and my hair
