Yes, definitely wasn't trying to accuse Griddy of price gouging here, they're just a middle man. I am accusing the people who set the price of doing so (at least morally), and perhaps even the producers of the electricity who didn't set the price (as well as those who were involved in setting it) since they are going along with selling it at that exorbitant price.

The market price is literally there for them as a signal when to generate and when to not. That's the whole point of the market.

What is more efficient, and do you have numbers to back that up?
