What will AGI do for Distributed Energy Defection?
Grid planners and utility operators face accelerating distributed energy defection as commercial facilities and high-income neighborhoods deploy independent solar, storage, and microgrid assets. This localized capacity generation removes highly profitable, consistent load from the centralized grid. As these consumers defect, utilities distribute fixed infrastructure costs across a shrinking ratepayer base, triggering rate hikes that further incentivize defection.
