off grid
No power lines
Off grid describes living or operating without connection to public utilities—especially electrical power, but also water, gas, and sewage systems.
An off-grid home generates its own electricity, typically through solar panels or wind turbines: They moved to an off-grid cabin in Montana.
The term extends to disconnecting from digital networks or mainstream society: going off grid for a while.
Also spelled off-grid.
