You guys are trying to make it rocket science. A typical system shared by several homes could consist of Solar/wind power for each home, and a shared back-up biofueled generator (fuel produced locally)for times of no sun or wind. Meters would determine usage and costs.
The technology is here; it's manageable, doesn't require an extensive, expensive, and vulnerable transmission grid. There are cheaper Lawyers then HELCO's team to draw up a use agreement.
If someone wanted out, they pay HELCO the $8000/pole and .43 a kilowatt/hour.
