You end up with a bunch of other challenges. The infrastructure costs of the grid are quite high to build and operationally expensive. That cost needs to be defrayed somehow.
The Time of Use (consumption charges) that aren't explained that well and differ quite significantly depending on the tariff structure you apply to. Consumption for commercial use is charged in two ways kwh that you require but also the peak kW that you need per month. This is in order to recoup the marginal cost of electricity produced at the "peak" of the month.
I'm not trying to just muddy up the waters but I think the underlying analysis is overly simplistic and inaccurate. I would hate for people to think that this substack article is an accurate portrayal of the complexities of the energy system and the pricing structures. Residential rates are only portion of the grid.
