Since I've been muzzled again, let me respond to those below here.
Yeah, that's what "residential cost" means.
And?
- tuatoru 4y agoResidential consumer price is made up of: generator cost and profit, transmission operator cost and profit, local distribution company cost and profit, retailer cost and profit if in a region that has virtual electricity resellers, and taxes. The "$60/MWh" refers only to generator cost. Try installing a nuclear power plant on your roof. Solar PV is a bit easier to get accepted, and quicker to do.
- onlyrealcuzzo 4y agoThat's the price the consumer pays. The $60/MWh quoted above is the price the utility would buy electricity. Much different prices.
- loeg 4y agoThat's the price consumers pay, but not the cost of the utility's supply.
