Another thing that ties into this were some interesting discussions here on Mastodon I stumbled across the past week. This is maybe more of a grounded theory approach, but I could notice some connections to not only platform affordances but also terms such as #influencers produsage and #prosumers, which we talked about during the Uni lectures I attended 2 weeks ago - which is also a topic I wanted to get into in general: #musicproducer vs. #contentcreator and #musicmarketing .

Are you familiar with the term, #Prosumers ?

It's when someone both consumes and produces a product and is particularly apt for #solar owners. #Batteries are making it even more lucrative for these early adopters.

Look at the credit this Texas homeowner got for providing power when the grid operator wanted it as opposed to just when sun is shining.

@ArenaCops @susankayequinn
We need for more people and businesses to become energy #Prosumers using their #solar and #batteries which the mini-monopolistic utilities are frantically fighting against in order to protect their profits.

Texas has had such good results from their first pilot test with Virtual Power Plants #VPPs that they're putting another one the grid! #Prosumers https://ftp.puc.texas.gov/public/puct-info/agency/resources/pubs/news/2023/PUCT_Virtual_Power_Plants_to_Provide_Power_to_ERCOT_Grid_for_the_First_Time.pdf

@mediopocillo @johncarlosbaez
Much better to charge the #Batteries in one's home and vehicle when the prices go negative than it is to heat up one's home with unnecessary lights when there is excess production imho. Virtual Power Plants can turn consumers into #Prosumers #VPP

@colo_lee @SWLABR
Yeah, something like that is what I was thinking (haven't fully developed nor will I ever since no one's paying me to nor would it make a difference) and the policy could only apply to sales after the new law was passed also imo.

Anyways, the new opportunities for #Prosumers in the energy sector are quite exciting for #BTM production and storage, for example the results that Tesla Energy are having in Texas this summer are going to make a diff. https://www.thecooldown.com/green-home/tesla-electric-powerwall-solar-wind-texas/

Beyond their traditional role of consumers, more and more citizens are becoming ‘energy #prosumers’, who both consume and produce energy.

Citizens, institutions and businesses can help deploy #renewableenergy & reduce fuel imports by becoming #prosumers who both produce & consume energy. Our #EEAReport shows #prosumption is expected to grow with enabling policies & better, cheaper technology
