I've seen this done by Indian Govt in some regions. It made good press there and I guess some politician decided to cash in on the bump. IMO It makes a little more sense in India tho, because of very hot climate & also the far out places that need electricity are also in teh middle of nowhere needing power so makes marginal sense to put generation closer to the last mile. plus labor is cheap so servicing is not really a problem. In California none of those things are in play so the idea is mostly bogus.
