If you don’t have enough electricity, the exact wrong solution is to pretend everything is fine and keep consumer prices the same, as there will be zero reason for consumers to reduce consumption. If prices increase by 2x or 3x you can bet users who can will turn off large consumers like resistive heaters. For some reason unrestrained access to cheap electricity is treated as an untouchable right, and how dare you raise prices in a shortage, you profiteering monster?
