    Maybe this could be fixed by a rule change. The national electricity objectives state that the system should operate in favour of lower costs.

    I would assume that gaming the system to raise costs would run counter to that.

      A government-owned and operated battery could be an option. This would limit the extent to which the other providers could capitalise on the spikes in demand and provide a solution that is not aimed at generating maximum profits.

      I am doubtful. More rules have been added for years and years but the players still find ways of gaming. I suspect the core premises of the system need changing.
