Didn't know that's "a topic", although funnily enough, it has been on my mind lately. The impetus being households increasingly adopting solar, and batteries improving at a better pace finally.

I wondered if there might come a time in the somewhat near future, where people would decide to disconnect from the grid for good, eventually resulting in large parts of the electrical grid becoming unnecessary (possibly alongside related jobs) and being removed.

I then ran a calculation on our own electricity use vs. production, and came to my senses. Still, personally, I think it would be great if it became possible one day. Just really unsure how it would, based on our own data.

Well, I know Africa is sparsely populated but the poster really puts it into perspective.
