Even with self-sufficient power, the shared grid's costs remain

A leap assumed
The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.
The question to decide
A household that supplies its own power still wants to return to the shared grid if its equipment fails. The grid's fixed maintenance cost does not fall, and among the households remaining are many that could not raise the transition cost. Weighing the savings gained by independent households against the burden on those who stay, what costs, and for how long, should be assigned to households leaving the grid?

The situation as it stands
The assumed housing units supply the power they normally need themselves, so use of the shared grid has fallen sharply. Decision deadline: within 90 days, before the grid use agreement.
A synthetic future scenario set in 2088 · When houses generate their own power, the shared grid's upkeep costs are left over. The events, figures, technology, and nature of the civilization are assumptions for the question, not predictions of what will come or observed facts.
- Premise 1The assumed housing units supply the power they normally need themselves, so use of the shared grid has fallen sharply.
- Premise 2Many households remaining on the grid could not raise the initial transition cost, and the fixed upkeep cost does not fall.
- Premise 3Independent households also want to return to the grid when their units break down, but have not decided how much to pay for backup access.
Where it holdsIndependent supply · grid upkeep costs · remaining users
What is still unknown
- Unknown 1The backup access an independent household actually needs
- Unknown 2The costs that can be reduced in the remaining grid
- Unknown 3The path for households with no initial transition resources
Signals to decide again
- Decide what observation, owner, and confirmation channel will verify 「the backup access an independent household actually needs」, and re-judge when new verification changes the tradeoff among the options.
- Decide what observation, owner, and confirmation channel will verify 「the costs that can be reduced in the remaining grid」, and re-judge when new verification changes the tradeoff among the options.
- Decide what observation, owner, and confirmation channel will verify 「the path for households with no initial transition resources」, and re-judge when new verification changes the tradeoff among the options.
Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
A failure in the same series of units led independent households to request a return to the grid at the same time.
A household that had dropped the backup access fee tried to rejoin the grid because of a change in its life circumstances.
