Instead of dealing with a 3rd party, just have a system of paying hydro direct for their costs. An RFID card like compass or chargepoint would work perfect.

This would also let hydro implement load balancing should they need it.
Yes they should manage it, but sadly BC Hydro doesn't take the lead on much around here. I think there are some complicated rules around the re-sale of electricity, which clearly Hydro can already do.
