The problem with the plan was that the government would have had to compensate the power plants for shutting down earlier than planned + pay to import (supposedly coal generated) power from neighboring countries. The whole thing made no fin

This looks great. If they nail the UI and perhaps also let you supply different voltages it could save a ton of time and become the defacto breadboard for hobbyists, such as Arduino hackers.
