- rlucas 8y agoYes, the idea of ceding to the power company (in exchange for a credit / rate reduction) the ability to turn off your power in whole or part is well known and is called "Demand Response" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_response https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_response
- bogomipz 8y agoNo, that is not the same thing at all. Not even close. A rolling black out is an involuntary action. It is also an action that results in total loss of power, hence the term "blackout." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_blackout https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_blackout
