Yes it does because its built as part of the national grid with the nessesary planning and thought. Unlike dumping all that money into inefficient solar panels hanging off peoples balconies
Everyone is better off with decentralised solar. Less demand on the grid, becoming more self sufficient, less reliance on profit machines. Every home should have solar. Your attitude to this couldn't be more backward thinking.
The options are no solar or home solar. The answer is the government put up capital to buy solar on the grid vs government puts up capital and people put up capital to buy solar. This is less efficient overall, you spend more and get less and the outcomes are unequal. You need a grid, it needs to support cities and industry, it needs to be there for cloudy days. If you pay people to help them get their own solar that demand doesnt leave the grid but the recurring revenue does.
