The disturbing thing is that Zone 4 has to pay export prices, when it would be fairer to pay pre-export prices.

It's already starting to bankrupt businesses in Zone 4, that are calling for immediate changes [0].

Hello from zone 4. Indeed, people here are pretty pissed about this. Basically, if an exporting transmission line got damaged, zone 4 prices would drop instantly.

The electricity companies and the socialist state earn billions [1] (2021), they have no incentives to change how it currently works.
