If they want a S/C free product. Spend some money & go off grid, they would soon make the money back.

Or possibly "they would soon want ther grid connection back".

I'm sure that some people coud happily leave the grid, but others would find it a nightmare.

Remebered scanning this exchange and then this article has popped up on the BBC - 2000 properties identified but total unknown by Ofgem.

An interesting reality check - countering the perhaps romantic idea of living in such remote properties - particularly as age - and an interesting problem for the scrapping of ICE - EVs charged by diesel generator anybody ??

Only a few interviewed - but suspect more in their situation would love to be paying a SC and have a grid connection instead of their various workarounds - solar, diesel, personal wind turbines etc.
