Possibly we are talking about different things. I am not prescribing or postulating anything. This is just reality.

  Average Revenues/Sales (¢/kWh)

  End-use sector    July 2026
  Residential           18.31
  Commercial            14.53
  Industrial             9.77
  Transportation        14.97

  Total                 14.99

The reason is mostly higher consumption = lower average price.

Isn't there a time of day variable as well? That would further drive down the average for e.g, Industrial sites that run continuously.
