James Beatty is Chief Executive Officer at Enpower Trading.
Enpower Trading discusses the importance of Revenue Surplus neutral tariff structure for municipalities.
This structure ensures that municipalities continue to receive their earnings, regardless of whether private traders operate within their networks or not.
James Beatty emphasises that this protection of municipalities' revenues is crucial in the current regulatory environment, where customers have more options to leave the grid and generate their own power.
By offering competitive solutions and preserving municipalities' income, James argues that this virtuous cycle can attract more industry and business to the municipality.
