Hey that's great, 1st time in 3 years I've seen an advertised supplier actually cheaper than the default.

​

Given that "the best deal possible" is 49% higher than what you were paying a few months before isn't really a deal it's just a way to normalize being shit on by a monopoly.

​

It's not "Good" that alternative sources are now competitive because the default source has increased their pricing so much.

I already have my own solar array so I did everything I could to avert this bullshit.

Do you really think that the only reason rates are higher is because RIE is making more money? Nothing outside of PPL is influencing the cost of energy?
