Rather than depending on a supplier, become sovereign and eliminate the dependency altogether.
yep, that will show em for sure.
I did that already. I'm able to run my whole house with a 6Kw split phase low frequency inverter and 10Kwh batteries. Now I don't care what the utility does. I just ordered another 10Kwh so I have ample storage. Of course, I can't run my air conditioner or electric dryer without being connected to the grid, but that's a small sacrifice.
My setup is a lot more modest. I just installed a caravan solar kit on the roof of my house for about $150 with an old car battery and a few 12V sockets. I have a few 12V appliances (desk lamps, 5V USB outlets, USB-powered alarm clock/radio, etc.) which I now use alongside mains appliances whether the grid is up or not. Cost me almost nothing and now if the grid goes down I'll notice but I won't be in the dark.
