You are correct. That’s what I was getting at in the first post mentioning that the wholesale cost of energy is falling, but grid costs (infrastructure, if you will) are rising modestly. Overall retail effect depends on the particular utility’s circumstances so has to be looked at locally. But flat seems like a reasonable expectation.
