A bit of both.
The least profitable generation plants would shut down first. That may (will) mean some people go entirely without outside of government intervention or on-site solutions. If the plants remaining don't hit a target number for the operators, they have a choice to fold, sell, or increase prices for the remaining generation.
That said, lighting isn't where our money or our fuel consumption goes. We cannot keep building houses the way that we do now, where we do now, with the range of use and function that they currently serve - and that's assuming we all conserve and the whole grid goes green. The lightbulbs are brass on the titanic, but if it gets people to buy more of them, they'll let you believe anything.
