That would be the ideal situation. I think it's time that, apart from distribution to major commercial enterprises and government run utilities, we get away from the mass distribution of electrical energy in its present form. Especially, if we do develop small, self contained generating plants for home and other local use. Might mean the big power generating corporations lose their monopolies on power generation, but so what. It'll mean one less fat cat making huge profits from the public and having undue influence over governments and government policy.
