Electricity market is interesting from a late stage capitalism perspective because it's so managed by regulations and transparent, and relatively pretty closed-world, and there's fast feedback. So many of the capitalism critiques don't work as well against it.

Of course the fundamental problems of unfairness and poor people paying more for electricity than big industrial users can also be attributed to properties of how the market is managed and regulated by the public (the classic "critique of free market" -> "not free enough, ergo not fault of free markets" trope).

Besides generation, this also enables pricing and funding of energy storage. Eg you could use historical data to see how profitably you could play production peaks and lows to charge/discharge battery storage, and use fairly well known risk management stats for the uncertainty factors.
