A method of accounting for electrical power contributions from a network of contributing facilities, said method including receiving information originating from a first plurality of monitoring stations associated with a first plurality of facilities, wherein said first plurality of facilities is operable to generate as well as consume electricity, and wherein said information from said first plurality of monitoring stations includes information about electricity generation by said first plurality of facilities, electricity flowing onto a power grid from said first plurality of facilities, electricity consumed by said first plurality of facilities, and electricity flowing into at least one of said first plurality of facilities, authenticating a portion of said information originating from said first plurality of monitoring stations associated with said first plurality of facilities, wherein said authenticating is configured for secure transmission of said information originating from said first plurality of monitoring stations associated with said first plurality of facilities, determining respective aggregate total power contributions of respective facilities of said first plurality of facilities based on said information originating from said first plurality of monitoring stations associated with said first plurality of facilities, determining respective aggregate total power consumptions of respective facilities of said first plurality of facilities based on said information originating from said first plurality of monitoring stations associated with said first plurality of facilities, verifying respective aggregate total power contributions of respective facilities through authentication, wherein said respective total power contributions are accounted for and attested to as originating from said first plurality of facilities, verifying respective aggregate total power consumptions of said respective facilities through authentication, wherein said respective aggregate total power consumptions are accounted for and attested to as originating from said first plurality of facilities, aggregating said respective total power contributions to a total aggregate contribution, wherein said total aggregate contribution represents energy generation capability of said plurality of facilities as a virtual generation entity, and providing, with said secure transmission, an acknowledgement verifying that said information was received and processed by said first plurality of facilities, and said contribution and consumptions will be accounted for in said aggregate totals.
