Reply to comment by yairof in California, Massachusetts Lead Nation on Energy Efficiency, Report Finds by BlankVerse

I don’t think you understand energy efficiency. If you’re producing more power than you need, then prices should be going down and vice versa. Locally, Massachusetts doesn’t produce enough power to fit this theory and thus because of that, prices are higher because electricity efficiency is low.

You're correct. I mistakenly gave my 2 cents without reading correctly the article. Apologies.

there is a baseline cost to generating and supplying that energy; the more efficient the consumers are the higher the price will go per kw/h because you still need to pay labor.

not strictly saying we're in the situation just saying its possible
