Say it is extremely rural and we only have 20 customers in those 30 miles. So, $4.5 million per customer. At this point, why be attached to the grid at all?

A renewable setup with storage makes sense at that point.
- coding123 7y agoIt makes sense at the current rates. Solar can replace the entire grid. And instead of using large HVAC transmission lines, small communities can form small grids to help share battery stored energy (while still metered so the power usage is fair) or a resident could opt out of the community grid and do fully off grid solar as long as the had the ability to handle a few cloudy days.
