Is that a price of power rise or a price of transmission rise?

That’s the curious bit: power generated per flat panel-rental fee is decreasing.

Rental cost is consistent.

Are people willing to pay a green premium for it?

We have a company near me that has some of the cheapest power sources from wind, but they used to market with the slogan “pay more for power.”

In many places, it's the "fees because we can" rise.

We have that here too. Plenty of “fees.”
