"The utility" has never had a way to prevent you from doing something dangerous with your wiring or with the electricity they send you. The best we've managed has been to encourage appliance manufacturers to design their products with safety in mind, through the UL program (which is voluntary). This is why the writer talked to the "vice president of engineering at UL Solutions."
Yes they have. It's called permitting.
And what's stopping you from doing it anyway?
If you're gonna break the law, you're gonna break the law and we can just ignore any discussion of legality. But that's not what we're doing.
