This is a fantastic initiative. Hopefully all parties subscribe to this.

It’s win win for all involved. Only power companies would be against this.

    There’s also transmission losses to consider.

    This is hilarious. How far do you think power travels from a centralised generation plant?

      Why do you think we step up the voltage as far as 220 thousand volts? You can lose a maximum of 5% of the nominal supply voltage between the switchboard and the load inside a building, and 7% from the point of supply to the load.

      Transmission loss on low voltage is definitely not insignificant.
