Are the Electricity Rates to High where you live? This maybe the Reason:
Economist and former Commissioner of the Public Utility Commission of Ohio (“PUCO”) Paul Centolella explains further:
A utility’s economic interests are not aligned with encouraging efficient demand participation in wholesale power markets. Most utility business models are based on earning a return on rate base, capital invested to meet consumer demand. Reducing customer demand often is in direct competition with opportunities for the utility to invest and increase future profitability. Moreover, demand reductions that reduce sales also may erode near term profits. In some jurisdictions, when sales to its own customers decline, the utility may not be able to retain any savings in fuel costs and / or profits from any off-system sales.
