According to TechFlow, the Helium community is discussing a new proposal, HIP 128, which suggests creating an ENERGY subgrid to reward users for participating in the energy market through solar power generation and battery energy storage.

The subnet will support the integration and rewarding of distributed energy resources (DERs), allowing home users to contribute to grid stability and be rewarded. Key benefits include dual mining, increased network activity and data credit consumption, entry into the renewable energy sector, and promotion of green energy practices.
