Brief

Jane Flegal is praised here for pushing back on proposals to equalize electricity prices across customer classes. Her argument is that industrial customers are structurally cheaper to serve, so flattening rates would backfire: factories would leave the grid for behind-the-meter generation, and households would be left with less subsidy support and a weaker tax base.

Shout out to Jane for fighting the good fight on behalf of sanity and reason amidst increasingly unhinged electricity policy conversation!

I don't like this. Industrial rates are lower bc factories are cheaper to serve, not bc regulators like them. Force equal per-kWh pricing & industry goes behind the meter. Residential customers lose both the cross-subsidy & the tax base. This makes the underlying problem worse!
