    Will they really though?

    Have you looked at your power bill and seen how much of the bill is not power consumption?

    We have also seen multiple times where the wholesale price of electricity is below zero yet consumers are still paying for power during those times.

      Not in US, but after our power went private it literally doubled. The nice lady tried to convince me the “extra” charges were always there but not itemized, but while holding the previous bill with the same (within a few points) my usage was the same but the “fees” were as much as my power usage
