So they might not want to roll it in the kWh price directly. <br /><br />Thank you for the link. Very interesting! <br /><br />About the earlier article in your link. Near the end, it says that "Rochester Gas and Electric" could pay Ginna "up to" this amount, but could also pay much less. So it sounds like it was probably a straightforward bargaining situation, and the final result was whatever they announced. That is just my guess. I don't have any special knowledge, that is for sure.<br /><br />Meredith Angwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737538041807740424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-16972116071437339842015-10-29T14:46:21.985-04:002015-10-29T14:46:21.985-04:00Followup question: Found the following article, wh...Followup question: Found the following article, which says the average price will be $3.89, or about $47/yr for the Ginna surchage (although the article is from Feb. of this year [2015], so perhaps the price came down since then in the final agreement). So, I'm just wondering why the difference between the price in your article, vs, theirs?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2015/02/13/plan-ginna-plant/23346995/" rel="nofollow">Ginna plan would come with surcharge</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12528401688809372093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-33538235570905787782015-10-29T14:39:55.619-04:002015-10-29T14:39:55.619-04:00Why make a special surcharge for the plant, instea...Why make a special surcharge for the plant, instead of just increasing the per-kWh price?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12528401688809372093noreply@blogger.com
