    In Greece there is no incentive to fix power losses since the electric bill has a power losses line item.

    You can steal as much as you want. The ones who pay will pay.

      Until solar panels came to liberate us from the utility overlords.

        In places where the grid is reliable, approximately no one disconnects voluntarily from it, and solar panels are just a nice extra.

        It is the places where the grid is failing where solar panels indeed liberate you, but not from the utility overlords, but from incompetent and corrupt governance.
