Claim 15:
16. A method of enabling a private utility at a building, the method comprising:
providing a plurality of power sources, wherein one of the plurality of power sources is enabled such that the enabled power source provides power to the building, the plurality of power sources including a primary power source and a secondary power source;
determining a preferred power source for the building based on power source data, the power source data including building data and external data for the plurality of power sources;
if the preferred power source is different from the enabled power source, changing the enabled power source such that the building receives power from the preferred power source;
providing a power source hierarchy wherein the primary power source is an active power source and the secondary power source is an inactive power source;
selecting the secondary power source as the active power source when a performance metric is not met by the primary power source and disabling the primary power source from providing the power to the building;
receiving, by a source controller module, the preferred power source determination from the source determinator;
comparing, by a source controller module, the preferred power source determination with active power source data, the active power source data stored in the memory; and
generating, by a source controller module, a control instruction based on the comparison of the preferred power source determination with the active power source data, wherein the control instruction includes at least disabling the primary power source and turning on the secondary power source.
