Except, "VC money", or...just couple of bitcoin angel investors who also happen to want to be customers. I think that's more likely.
There must be regions where the governments control the energy grid and prices, such that there would be easy arbitrage in price and quality of service.
For instance, lots of places have common rolling outages, so EVERYBODY has to maintain independent generators. There are also places where the price of energy is regulated, so if you can produce power cheaper, boom!

VC money is interested in anything that will make money. If things like go-to-market, unit economics, UX can be figured out reasonably well, I don't think this would have much of a problem getting VC money. The total addressable market is huge - every home/business, every electric car, etc.
Go-to-market for this is not trivial though. What is the Uber black cars in SF equivalent to this?
