Agentic AI in Microgrid Trading

By Autonomic Intelligence • October 12, 2026 • 5 min read

Imagine your building negotiating the price of electricity with the building next door, 50 times a second. This is the reality of Agentic Microgrid Trading, where autonomous software agents represent physical assets in a digital marketplace.

Peer-to-Peer Energy Models

Centralized utilities are becoming backup providers. In a VPP (Virtual Power Plant), your solar panels and batteries act as a node. Agents continuously bid and ask for energy based on your real-time needs and battery levels, creating a localized, resilient economy.

Zero-Touch Revenue

Property managers no longer need to monitor rates. The AI agents are programmed with your financial goals—whether to maximize profit or maximize green energy usage—and execute trades relentlessly to achieve those targets.
