How do you manage that? It's Ontario Hydro, isn't it? I thought you had
so much surplus capacity you were selling power to New York.

At below cost due to the inefficiencies and stupidity of government
and management.

Cost per KwHr including delivery charges etc is well over $$0.18 on
average in Ontario right now.


Cheaper than the UK price of £0.12 (yours equates to £0.10). That's not expensive. Parts of the US are cheaper, and parts are quite a lot more expensive.
