National Electricity Market

Okay, so imagine electricity is like a big cake. This cake needs to be shared between lots of different people and places, like your house or your school. The national electricity market is like the bakery where the cake is made and shared out.

The bakery (or market) has different bakers (or generators) making their own special cakes (or electricity) and selling it to the people who need it. Sometimes there are too many cakes and not enough people who want to buy them, so the bakers have to reduce the price to get more buyers. Other times there aren't enough cakes and lots of people want to buy them, so the price goes up.

The bakery (or market) also has people called regulators who make sure that everyone is playing fair and following the rules. They make sure the bakers (or generators) aren't making dangerous or bad cakes (or electricity) that could hurt anyone.

So, in summary, the national electricity market is like a big bakery where lots of bakers (or generators) make cakes (or electricity) to sell to people who need it. There are regulators who make sure everything is safe and fair, and sometimes the price of the cakes (or electricity) changes depending on how much people want to buy or how many cakes there are.
