I'd wager, good Dome, that the cutoff in question is probably at the POLE, not at the HOME. Why, "mere" client-employee power consumers might actually come up with the idea that they have a CHOICE when and how much power to use...

In an apartment complex such as mine the matter is a moot. WHEN it comes time to budge, part of my cartload will be solars, batteries and such. Small fry, no grid stuff.
