Abstract: A system and method for distributing energy including an energy generation source that is adapted to generate a generation source portion of energy, energy consumers that each have a demand level, an e-cloud that is adapted to receive a portion of the generation source portion of energy and distribute an e-cloud portion of energy, a processor that is adapted to control the distribution of energy, and a utility that is adapted to communicate with the system. The processor causes the energy generation source to transmit an energy consumer generation source portion substantially equal to or less than an individual energy consumer demand to each of the energy consumers and an e-cloud energy portion to the e-cloud. The processor also causes the e-cloud to transmit an energy consumer e-cloud amount of energy substantially equal to or less than each of the individual energy consumer demands to each of the energy consumers.
