Figured I should look into the consumer advocate and the PUB. Last year Dennis billed us for 700 hours at 200/h, his firm got paid about 70k and he got 140k.
Last year his firm got 107k but he only got 118k. A good raise and a hell of a part time job.

What is a price?
"Les prix sont faits pour dire les coûts, comme les horloges sont faites pour dire l'heure." or "Prices are made to tell costs, as clocks are made to tell the time.

I'm probably going to keep forgetting to post here, BUT NL Power - a Fortis Company - uses Microsoft Excel to predict power demand and that is very funny.

MUN associate professor Kelly Blidook pulled no punches when asked why the Liberals lost the 2025 provincial election, pointing to cabinet ministers approving payments for departing colleagues.

Just to toss some MOU thoughts on here;
It costs less than 0.1c/kwh to make power at the existing Churchill Falls site.
Power from new hydro builds will likely be 10-12c/kwh. New nuclear is suggested to be 16c/kwh.
Rate payers on the island will get none of the 0.1c power. That's bad.

The paradigm shifts on a winter peaking grid.
All those heat pumps need a lot of electricity when it’s cold.
Value of solar declines, and wind might not be there when you need it. People point their finger at gas when it doesn’t perform, without being honest about what makes it the keystone

The Growing Challenge of Winter On the Grid
Due to electric cooling, summer is generally the time of peak demand in the most of the US. As electrification continues, many areas project narrowed or dual peaks between seasons, while some are expected to flip to winter peaking entirely.
