Ramatog is right but for the wrong reasons (although regulation on safety grounds should of course continue – the safety elves have to have something to do).

5MW power-stations the size of a double garage mean that there need be no enormous generation / distribution companies. Local communities will own / operate their own stations for their own use. A couple of such generators (for resilience / maintenance /refueling) would replace the need for a grid. You might even pay for your power in your local taxes (different bunch of greedies but hey 😉 ) The price you pay can become a local election issue. Literally “Power to the People”

(WARNING:- Neither the big utility companies, oil rich nations nor centralist politicians will like it. Expect a battle)
