Did someone throw 200 trillion kwhs on the market? Did a major buyer go bankrupt? I'm still new, so please help me understand the probable causes for the recent collapse of Electric Power market. |

Looks like demand dropped by 100B kwhs, while supply remains the same. This started about 6 game months ago.
I found this by clicking on the market situation bar (just barely green now), and in the window, I click on the red/green icon right after the number of oversupply. That pulls up a historical graph of supply/demand.
Looking at the world supply/demand graphs, it looks like it's almost every sector taking a nosedive, but some sectors are already recovering while others are just starting to get hit.
All my state corporations have contracts with each other, so my country hardly noticed. |

What could be the possible cause for such a downturn? Some big CEO gone belly up, or just the normal market cycle?
"All my state corporations have contracts with each other"
Does that work out well? I read on a tutorial that one shouldn't sell domestically, because it's unprofitable compared to the open market. Has that changed, or did I misunderstand something? |

Meh.
It helps to keep some money circulating inside your country. But it doesn't seem to do a damned thing for corporate profitability. |
