What is driving it
How PPL buys default service supply, and at what price
PPL buys the power behind the price to compare in auctions held ahead of each service period; the latest reaches more than two years ahead. The price to compare is the average of what those auctions locked in.
Share of each month’s supply already bought, by auction, and the average price locked in
