It appears that power prices have continued to come down since higher periods in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Generation charges have dropped due to the fuel sources used to generate power while the distribution charges keep rising due to added costs of maintaining transmission lines including labor and fleet management costs. Should fuel costs rise, this would play against the benefits seen only in the area of the generation charges. The Transmission Charges are also slightly lower but are a fraction of a cent and are negligible.
