This is fundamentally not how power markets work. You offer to sell the grid power before it is produced - you have this backwards.

You sell it to anybody you want (some regulations aside). The grid operator makes it available to anybody who wants to plug into the grid. There are many regulations that make it such that anybody who wants to plug into the grid can do so as long as it’s not destabilizing, and even then, they’ll often work with you.

If you were an expert in energy markets, you’d see that you can go to an ISO and see which entities are market participants - of which utilities are just a few.

I could, and regularly do, sell some random company power that the grid / transmission operator HAVE to transport for me as long as I’m not physically destabilizing the grid by messing with frequencies, etc.

You also have the location of the power stations backwards. We choose to build power stations in an area because we see unmet or growing demand, not because some utility showed up and demanded we do it…

Pretty much all of your arguments so far are based on premises that simply aren’t true.
