Do you accept that wholesale electricity prices in Australia can be wildly disconnected from residential retail prices?

Do you accept I am an Australian resident retail customer telling you I am not seeing any change in my $/kWh price, nor any offers from my any providers offering lower prices and higher solar input price than the plan I’m on now.

It doesn’t matter if wholesale prices are zero unless energy retailers are willing to compete to drive prices lower.

And they’re not. It’s a regulated market here in Australia.

If somebody comes up with a way to produce wheat cheaply, do you blame them for high bread prices?
