Extrapolating a bit, I'm guessing that she means that it doesn't make much sense for most individual homeowners to manage their own electricity production and storage. Instead what you'll see is more communities adopting Microgrids 'behind the meter'. It makes sense to be connected because any excess can be sold back to the distribution company at the feed-in-tariff rate. Plus, what happens when a local power system fails?
