I will try it in a normal lot when I have a chance.
Edit: I went to the other lot in Oasis Springs and added the power and water generator, it works when power is off for conservation day, but does not work when bills are due, which I don't get if you have power and water generating abilities and you put it to store, you should be able to keep the stored energy and water and use it even if bills are overdue. Lots that get the water and electricity disconnected should operate as off the grid lots until bills are paid. Both Green and Industry power and water generators, should override the power and water shutoff as your getting the power and water locally.
Edit: I checked the green energy ones too same problem at least with the power, well, couldn't check the water one as there was no rain. However, if you have it as store in the bill area that is your free energy or water to use no matter if your bills are owed or not.
No I am talking about regular lots as when they shut off the electricity and water for failure to pay your bills when you have the power and water settings as store, with water and power generators failure to pay your bill shouldn't limit the power and water you collect internally. Regular lots if you don't pay your bill function like "off grid lots", and when you have everything on store, and power and water generators on failure to pay bills shuts off water and electivity despite having a internal power and water source.
Its most likely the same problem as internal power sources should generator power reserves especially if you choose store as your not selling any unused power or water to the utility company. Ok say like you have a mothly bill of 232 dollars in real and you store power on a disconnected generator, that uses gas. The power company can't tell you that you can't hook up your house to a power generator. Your get power that is not counted by the company because its internal to the lot. I expect it to work the same way in the Sims 4. You generate power on lot and set everything in the bills section to store, when 24 hours after bills arrive they shutoff your power, and water even if the water and power generators are running.
