Why this row
The average retail price across all sectors rose from 10.59 cents per kWh in 2020 to 12.94 cents in 2024. A row that can be met at another row's expense is paired with a guard, and this is the guard for rows 5 through 9: capacity bought with higher real prices fails the plan. It carries no target beyond holding the 2024 level in real terms, and it is scored every year.
The path
| 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | 2031 | 2032 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12.94 | 12.94 | 12.94 | 12.94 | 12.94 |
a ceiling in every year; capacity bought with higher real prices fails rows 5 through 9
Each July 4 the row shows its baseline, this path, the latest official value and a status of ahead, on schedule or behind. As a guard row, breaching it fails the rows it protects.
