The lesson is you can buy all the electricity you want from whoever, the electric companies still own the poles and wires that deliver that energy and they expect those costs to be covered and profit on top of it.

Amazon start by acquiring customers then systematically taking each next step until they control the entire channel end to end.
I would not be surprised if this started out as them providing energy through existing systems and ending up with them having built a renewable energy grid comprised of their customers that actually sells surplus back into the system.
