A mutual cable / network provider sounds good. How many houses does it cover?

In New Zealand / UK / Spain the network company provides the cables and connections to consumers and retailers/generators who all pay to connect then customers buy their electricity from the chosen retailers - The network companies are relatively large regional operations that are eithe private for profit of trusts (as opposed to coops) all are regulated for a return on capital invested.

With rooftop solar how does the network provider get on balancing demand ? I guess your provider buys electricity at night and sells during the day?

So in an area its almost completely vertically integrated? Wow.

Im in +1GMT - Happy to help out

I feel like i commented on this / something similar. But what about a free Nextcloud account / Nextcloud server with Maps and one of the many Location apps that use Nextcloud. Next tracks , Maps Geofavourites etc. that are available via Fdroid?

Are there any? (Searching Fdroid as we speak)
