I hear you but in this instance its the distribution company not generation company. The distribution businesses aren’t allowed to generate or have batteries.
You’d think that smart meters would be smart enough to report voltage drops.
What happened to all that gold plating?

That sucks. I’m hoping renters eventually get to have solar panels on roofs and balconies like Finland and Germany do
