IIRC, electricity transport and distribution costs can vary significantly. They can be relatively high in densely populated areas because of transmission limitations/congestion, and they're also high at the edge of existing infrastructure because running additional lines can be costly. As an example, transmission and distribution costs were roughly equal to generation costs in CA in 2016. https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/uploadedFiles/CPUCWebsite/Content/About_Us/Organization/Divisions/Office_of_Governmental_Affairs/Legislation/2017/AB67_Leg_Report_PDF_Final_5-5-17.pdf https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/uploadedFiles/CPUCWebsite/Content/Ab...
