no, we pay the same even if we use less. sure your bill will be lower at first, than they increase price for kw\hr (either due to lower consumption that brings less money, or increased taxes...), and you end up being right where you started.
my point was, once you need them, and depend on them, they will make sure they get their money either way, taking less from the grid, won,t decrease your dependance, or save you money in a long run, being off the grid will.
i,m off the grid, i don,t care if i run electric heater 24\7, which i do in the winter, i use power that i made myself, as much as i want, and have no el. bills, no power comp. has me dependant on it. even if con ed increases the price, i won,t get affected, i,ll even make more money as i sell surplus of more expencive power to the con ed.
during blackout of 2003 my buildings had power, outside lights were on, ac's were running, i felt no effect of blackout in my appt. the rest of ny weren,t so lucky.
