It isnt even schizo, this is californias stated plan for handling their shitshow of a system. Want storage? State
gets access. Bought an ev? State 
tells you when and how youll charge. New home? Mandated demand side controls.
And with all the fancy
monitoring and smart 
apps, the state 
can track your compliance constantly

R-slurred way of handling energy. Rather than let the producers and energy market handling pricing, try to artificially control the energy flow once it gets to the end user.
In theory its attractive for optimizing your own energy use. The state and power companies will only use it as a cudgel to force compliance for their own frickups. Ie turning off your ac because they want to charge you more for your energy
