An update on August pricing and a look forward. Also and update on the business, including successes and setbacks (including (potential) funding blowing up).

For pricing, floating electricity came in last month slightly higher, but it’s bouncing off the lowest price in a decade! Floating natural gas remains low as well. You’re on our floating rates, right?

Dreaming of summer yet? Well, in preparation, we’ve bumped up our solar export rate to 35 ¢/kWh!

In which I provide a pricing update for February (now finishing), and a rundown of the success and struggles of the last month.
