Utility bills have always been a rate per unit. The problem is, sorry if i keep rehashing it, is that as fixed costs have exploded (labor, materials, etc.) The bill is still determined by a rate of usage.

Rather than paying a very small connection fee and then a significant amount per unit. The most accurate way to pay is a large connection fee (fixed costs) then a very small rate per unit.


We, as a country who relies on power spread across large distances, need to reduce fixed costs aggressively. Distributed generation, less transmission loss amd line maintenance.
