This issue isn’t energy, it’s transmission. LMPs consist of the energy, congestion, and losses component of power. Energy is available, but the bottleneck is how you allocate transmission development and maintenance costs.

The reason retail energy rates are going up forever, Laura, is because even when energy (electrons) is abundant (or free), you still can’t get them where they need to go. And the raw materials that make up the high voltage transmission lines can’t be mined and processed fast enough. Energy isn’t the issue, transmission cost allocation is.
