Grid Defection

Description

Green Coast:

"Grid defection is a concept where consumers have independent sources of power, and thus they reduce their reliance or desert the use of power from the main grid. When consumers store sufficient energy or use alternative sources of energy such as solar and wind, they abandon the power utilities. Battery storage and use of alternative sources of energy make people independent and self-sufficient even if they still retain their grid connection. Mass-scale grid defection allows consumers to generate electricity using off-grid systems such as solar photovoltaic technologies, lithium-Ion batteries, and cogeneration. Off-grid systems will help people operate with stand-alone power systems or mini-grids." (https://greencoast.org/terms/grid-defection/?)
