Claim 0:
1. A system for enabling a private utility at a building, the system comprising:
a plurality of power sources, each of the power sources configured to provide power to the building when enabled, the plurality of power sources including a primary power source and a secondary power source;
at least one external data source;
at least one onsite data source;
a computer system communicatively connected to the plurality of power sources, the at least one external data source, and the at least one onsite data source;
wherein the computer system is configured to:
receive external data about the plurality of power sources from the at least one external data source;
receive building data about the plurality of power sources from the at least one onsite data source;
determine a preferred power source for the building based on the external data and the building data;

wherein the computer system is further configured to provide a power source hierarchy wherein the primary power source is an active power source and the secondary power source is an inactive power source, and wherein when a performance metric is not met by the primary power source, the secondary power source becomes the active power source and the primary power source is disabled from providing the power to the building; and
a control subsystem communicatively connected to the computer system and the plurality of power sources, the control subsystem configured to:
receive a control instruction from the computer system, the control instruction generated by the computer system based on the preferred power source determination, wherein the control instruction includes at least disabling the primary power source and turning on the secondary power source; and
adjust an operating parameter of at least one of the power sources according to the control instruction.
