Bi-directional power generation is the future of sustainable power generation.
If I have solar panels that produce more energy than I need, I push thay extra energy back to the grid so others can use it. That reduces the demand for dirtier energy by design.
If I pay for consuming electricity, then I should be paid for creating electricity.
Unfortunately, more and more energy companies seem to go in the opposite direction. As many struggle to remain profitable as they are finally forced to pivot away from dirty energy generation, they're desperate to find other sources of revenue. And they couldn't come up with anything smarter than turning domestic electricity generation from a (tiny) cost for them into an undeserved revenue stream. These companies would literally prefer you to waste your excess electricity, or use it to mine Bitcoins or whatever, than distributing it back to appliances which may need it.
If you are Dutch and you have a contract with Budget Energie, or with any other company that has irrationally decided to turn electricity production into a cost for the producer, then consider terminating your contract with them immediately. The world doesn't need these parasites who readily sacrifice long-term viable business models on the altar of short-term profitability.
