Free-market electricity prices have risen well above the rate of inflation. Regulated tariffs have also increased above inflation.
These trends suggest it is worthwhile and advantageous to explore "cost arbitrage between sources."
The rationale lies in the fact that each source has its own dynamics regarding supply, demand, and pricing.
A I/C consumer aiming to remain competitive must closely monitor price trends across different sources to ensure that choices are well-informed—balancing cost and availability while taking into account the specific characteristics of each source.
