Just waste...but giving power to multinational companies virtually for nothing is not waste in my opinion..it gives more options for self consumption.
I would rather operate an aircon with all the windows open rather than sell at 4c/kwh...but that's just me...

It make for a true non stop power system...rather than run a generator you use the grid for automatic emergency backup...can be a lot less maintenance and no skills required by the operator....having said that a 100 bucks a quarter buys a fair bit of diesel...
