3000/MWHr? Wow!! I remember, before "deregulation", when the emergency power rate was $100/MWHr. And we used to complain back then.
Yes, it went up to $3000/MWH. I am not joking.
Thinking about that $3000/MWHr for a minute - the case could be made that if that cost could actually be passed through the the end user, the end user would curtail most of their use and demand would drop as a result. OF course, if the ratepayer had to carry the burden at on-peak pricing, they would certainly have to be given the opportunity to share the cheap off-peak rates when they occur.
