Griddy

Hey @GoGriddy you guys are probably getting a world of angry calls, tweets, and emails from customers who are unaware of the product or don't try to conserve during peak demand. Just wanna say there are many of us that understand the situation and please keep doing what you do!

People with businesses cannot turn off all the lights, so what are we to do? Get raped by Griddy? We switched to TXU! Screw Griddy!

If you opted for a variable or wholesale rate without understanding the implications or considering the risks to your business that's a problem and not Griddy's fault.

I must have missed the oodles and oodles of web pages griddy devotes to explaining what to do during these times. Silly us for not knowing how a new concept works.

What’s so difficult about the concept? They pass through the wholesale price to the customer. Make sure you monitor that price and manage your usage accordingly. If you can’t monitor the price (even w/ automated monitoring) or manage usage, it’s not for you.

You know, they said they are going to start looking at some of those things to help protect members moving forward. This debacle exposed some flaws in their business design but it looks like they are wanting to address those, so that’s good (if they actually do).
