Having built a model of the Southeast bilateral energy market, I can say that this is moderately close, but there are a lot of transactions between the regions that would change the shadings if you viewed it from a load (vs generation) perspective.

We calculated numbers for this graph slightly differently than we did last year. It is CAGR for the specified years. Same underlying data but more consistency throughout the report.

Sorry @colinme.bsky.social just noticed this question. My use of ev.energy is definitely a hack and not a utility-supported implementation. Kentucky Utilities doesn't really seem to support anything. They just offer the rate and godspeed for those who attempt to use it.

Fair enough. I think that is also sometimes the case in the US, but it is rarely explicit (except through "economic development" tariffs) and more just how things have been done.
