You start running into major issues with regulation and ownership of equipment that there isn't a vested interest in solving. If a local battery isn't owned by the utility company, who owns it? How do you track power input and use? Can one house use another house's power?

It is a lot less complicated to keep things separated.

Sorry I should have probably worded it better I meant that it would be run by a public utility not by residents.

Run by a public utility, I don't see any problem.

We own it. It belongs to us. It's mine, and it's yours.

It's public.

And how do you answer the second and third questions?

Things get a lot cleaner when you make the local infrastructure owned by a public utility.
