Secondly, one could feel a little annoyed given a business is getting their power at 11kwh while mr and mrs smith struggle at 30c? It does go to show the truth that coal based power companies do it at 8c and sell it to you at 28/30/32c or more yet cry poor? Lastly, I think there are actually governed laws surrounding a wholesale producer providing a reseller a cost base that enables them to sell power to the business/consumer under the average price. I'll check that out further.
