I guess it follows that most renewable companies aren’t big enough to own the infrastructure? So in most jurisdictions, the original fossil fuel companies basically hold a monopoly on the infrastructure, and so can set their own prices for access to the wider grid etc? Ugh. Not surprised, just disappointed.
