Understanding Your Con Ed Electricity Bill from NY Times

The NY Post reports today on Con Ed electricity over charges:

Each New Yorker overpays $114 a year for electricity thanks to state policies that set the highest possible prices for power, according to data released yesterday by a state legislator.

The overcharges add up to $2.2 billion annually, and have cost the state economy "thousands, if not millions of jobs," says the study released by Assemblyman Richard Brodsky (D-Westchester).

Some economists say that paying power-generating companies the highest possible price ensures they'll keep electricity flowing, but Brodsky calls the system "an elegant form of price fixing."...
