That’s actually for the better, it’s wiring and transmission. Generation isn’t the sole cost of the electric grid and you are using it even if just the fees associated with keeping it able to supply power to you. But if it’s net zero and not gross zero you’re also using their storage.

I hate the privatized electric system myself, but we culturally seem to be thinking of the electric grid only when it breaks, and not as a highly delicate system run by specialists.
