Actually, the power would be purchased by someone else. There's always demand for power. AZ would probably come out ahead in the deal as they most likely (don't know for sure) negotiated a long term rate with LA at a discounted price. LA would be the big loser as they would have to go out on the open market again and pay higher rates for the same power....and it would likely be coming from a more distant source (higher transmission costs). I'm sure all the folks the LA politicians were trying to appease aren't going to be too happy with higher power bills each month.
