True, but if we're not getting rid of them, let's at least make them useful

    My suburban shopping centre has space for 2.2MW, it's about 5km from the nearest power substation

    But they can only export 30kw into the suburban grid (10kW/phase * 3 phases)

    To export the other 2.17MW they would need to run high voltage main lines 5km to the nearest substation

    The farm nearest me has 13kW and is right near a main power line
