@SiR_GameZaloT thatโs a scenario playing out there with quite devastating potential consequences. Is it going to become unsustainable to supply the low cost tariffs to the very low consumption electricity users soon? Thatโs not a great outcome either. This article in Dawn also was a good explainer for me (knowing very little): https://www.dawn.com/news/1872971/infrastructure-the-solar-conundrum
@dubh great link, thanks!
echoes what I think is the only way forward: abandon the grid in its current form. Trying to prop-up an outdated and inefficient grid on the backs of one segment of slightly better off households, and using this as a justification for its continued existence is harmful to everyone's interests.

@dubh The centralized-grid model was designed for the 20th century when cheap power meant huge power plants 100s of miles away.
The renewables era demands decentralized localized grids with energy storage. Especially with one climate disaster after another, its the only way to make supply resilient & cheap.
Mass install panels & batteries, no subsidies needed, safeguard quality of life for everyone
