- BrandoElFollito 2y agoIs this a plan you choose (and in this case this is what you expect), or the only one available?
- wmf 2y agoThese prices are wholesale. Retail power customers don't pay these prices.
- BrandoElFollito 2y agoAh ok thanks for the clarification. So this does not impact the end-users at all (i.e. their price is fixed?) In France the price is regulated, you can have higher/lower prices throughout the day but this is described in the contract (you know when the hour is "high" and know the price and same for the "low" hours)
- wmf 2y agoMany retail power utilities in the US allow each customer to choose a single rate or a time-of-use rate. I think in both cases prices are set and published months in advance.
