Are you suggesting the grid will turn into an interconnected graph of power supply lines with a routers and a routing protocol to supply power dynamically based on usage? Sounds a lot like our favorite graph.
There are obvious political problems with rate advertisement. Some are actually beneficial, such as being able to guarantee critical power supply on a more granular level. But what about ending up with a handful of backbone power providers with shady preferential practices and lackluster competitive spirit?
Self-regulating devices that turn themselves off during peak usage (back off packet sending...quiet broadcast radios...) seems extremely susceptible to bad actors. Perhaps I underestimate how bad current power infrastructure consistency is.
