Its not corporate greed. They have to pay more to produce energy. Are they just supposed to obsorb the cost and lose money?

If you think you can do it cheaper, go for it. Produce your own energy.

CEO prolly doesn’t need 9 mil plus what ever bonuses. He could prolly get by with a little less than that. Prolly the rest of the executives too. But hey. 15c/kWh is fine so he can keep his lifestyle while the rest of us freeze am I right?

From my layperson's understanding, PPL is obligated to negotiate the best price reasonably possible. Suppliers may profit from pricing, but distributers may not; pass-through only. Maybe PPL did the best they could, but have my doubts. This needs to be investigated.

Energy costs right now are fluctuating. So who know when they negotiated the price.

PPL doesn’t produce anything. They shop the energy market and supposedly pass on volume discount to their customers. I would love to hear their explanation for why the PA Power Switch marketplace can provide offers such as $0.118/kWh with a 3 year lock but they can’t even come close.
