Thanks for that alohanaia, though I am hard pressed to see how that suggests that they are the worst in the country at what they do, but rather just that they have the highest rates. I mean come on, I thought you were going to tell me how the linemen are all left handed or they run their wires backwards or some such!
I know the highest rates thing is a bitch, but when you think of where we are, and how spread out our population is, ie how much the cost of running their system is, I kind of think you will find several reasons to justify some seriously high rates. But nothing about all that is bad (as I took your use of the word worse to imply), it's just the facts of life on the island, in every industry. For all of us. If you want it cheap, you should consider moving.
I think if people want to bitch about the costs of our electricity they should look at the regulators (PUC) and the government (who makes deals that include too many subsidies) not the regulated.
