You might save 25% on your bill, but put the meter any farther up the line and wait for a natural disaster to hit, for example. Get a quote to have you and your neighbor's pole, transformer, etc. fixed up and then figure out what you saved. Heck, you can probably just wait to replace you and your neighbor's transformer and see. Keep putting your meter further up the line, to get the economies of scale needed so your microgrid can have lineworkers, engineers, meter readers (for all your own meters, you have to portion costs out to the individuals in the grid)... congratulations, you just made a new utility company.
