The Grid
From HobbitHoleWiki
The Grid is the term applied to the existing network of power lines supplying electricity to an area. Being "On-Grid" means receiving your power from the electric company through this network. Being "Off-Grid" means being disconnected from this network and either generating your own power or doing without.
