For a non-blockchain version of this, in Europe there has been an effort towards developing and implementing a system called USEF [1], which allows entities like power stations, speculators and aggregators like British Gas across Europe to make available and trade future energy supply and demand contracts over chosen time periods. At my last job, we tried to make an initial implementation of this, but the specification was extremely complex, and even worse, ambiguous in many places. We were frequently unable as a group to agree on what the specification meant. Maybe it has improved in the two years since I left. [1] https://www.usef.energy https://www.usef.energy
