      It’s generally not the fuel for the plant that drives up your power bill. It’s things like paying to build, operate and maintain plants, transmission infrastructure, etc.

      There are also other things inflation, like demand driven rate setting hikes that encourages people not to run appliances in the evening.

      All in all, the primary goal of this plant is reducing carbon emissions.
