To tackle the challenges posed by grid defection, a recent study introduces a novel game-theoretic framework that delves into the strategic behavior of consumers with conflicting interests. This approach offers new insights into how grid defection unfolds. The study is published in the journal iScience.

The study highlights that ignoring the inter-dependencies among consumers when making grid design decisions can lead to inefficiencies and unpredictable defections. One key finding is that defection rates don't simply rise linearly as the cost of going off-grid decreases. Instead, they increase non-linearly, with sudden spikes under certain cost conditions. These spikes are driven by "conditional defection," where consumers decide to leave the grid only because others have done so.
