It’s more that they get a bulk discount, whereas Jamaica m individuals don’t, and apparently they can set the bulk discount below the generation cost.
It’s incredibly dumb and why I’d like there to be more choice. Instead of one company handling supply and service for industry and residents, there should be multiple companies handling supply and an independent org handling service. Basically, the suppliers would bring the electricity to the cities, and cities would handle it from there. Then they need to compete for the lowest cost energy, customers can pick which suppliers they’d like, and prices per KWh would be static regardless of customer (the only discount for large customers would be service).

That is regional. In Europe commercial/industrial prices are usually higher, especially in times of crisis, because residential power has a price cap. Damn socialists and their regulations!!1!

Yes it is! And this article is written about States being in the United States and how its affecting that infrastructure.
Trust me, I know shit is better everywhere else. My comments are about the current state of USA electricity and how its being affected by the content in this article. Which takes place in the USA.
I’m sure in the land where they actually care about people its different.
