Then it will make even more sense to not be wasteful with your power consumption, and in the mean time those who take steps to reduce their power consumption will be saving money and they'll feel it less when rates go up. Power consumption increases every year nationwide. It's going to be a while before power companies really start losing revenue because households cut down some on their power consumption.
