Yes, on my website (http://andyschroder.com/DistributedCharge/) I mention
"The distributed charge project was established to make bitcoin the native payment method of the energy grid by creating hardware devices, open source software, and standard protocols for negotiating real time energy pricing and micropayment between machines, on every corner of the earth.
Every electric meter should allow for bi-directional payment and energy flows, and everyone should be able to easily buy and sell energy privately without the need to involve third parties or inflationary monetary systems. ".
There is definitely a long way to go, but things have to start somewhere. In order to have true decentralization where everybody can have both bi-directional energy flows, as well as multiple connections, there will be some new power electronics required as well. Presently, I'm only addressing the payment flows and assuming a tree like structure for the energy grid and not a mesh.
