If it was really smart, it would let you set what you’re willing to sell energy at, then when the utility company says “we’re paying x, take it or leave it,” the system can say “leave it” until they decide to pay more. They aren’t buying from you because there isn’t a need, so why should you be paid low-demand prices?
Well, Texas as a state has said that they’d rather people die repeatedly than regulate their electrical grid, so I think you’re right about that.
