What just happened to Electric Power?

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.
