Comalco to pare back on electricity use

here.
And fair enough too. We still don't know what they pay for the electricity and I'm damn sure it's nowhere near the 15-odd cents/kWh a residential customer pays. Funny how business loves to take risks to save money but then bleats about how unfair it all is when the dice comes up the wrong way (Comalco is a little special however since it's contract was stitched up in the old ECNZ days).
Take home lesson - if you pay the least, you're the first to get switched off. Don't get suckered with that "we're all in this together" savings crap that rolls around every couple of years - you're subsidising someone else's business!
