That explains where the power comes from, but not why people across the street would fail to negotiate the better pricing. Running some wires across a freeway is a minor expense in the scheme of things. Come to think of it for the first time, I don't know why power arbitrage isn't a thing. I pay for service in Springfield, and pay for wires across the street to Eugene, and they pay me more than my cost, but less than theirs.
