EnergiControl Smart Grid
A highly centralized, AI-powered smart grid that automatically allocates energy resources to citizens and industries based on a pre-determined 'social credit' score and priority needs determined by the governing authority. Usage is tracked in real time, and any deviation from pre-approved consumption patterns results in immediate penalties and potential restriction of energy access. Rewards are given for compliance and energy conservation efforts deemed 'appropriate'.
