Anybody have the link to the recent UK report on micro-grids?
Experience with home PV feeding juice back to the grid and getting paid for it?

Small networks of power generators in "microgrids" could transform the electricity network in the way that the net changed distributed communication.
That is one of the conclusions of a Southampton University project scoping out the feasibility of microgrids for power generation and distribution.
Microgrids are small community networks that supply electricity and heat.
They could make substantial savings, and emissions cuts with no major changes to lifestyles, researchers say.
Electricity suppliers are aiming to meet the UK government's Renewables Obligation, requiring them to generate 15% of electricity from renewable sources by 2015.
Microgrids, say the researchers, could easily integrate alternative energy production, such as wind or solar, into the electricity network.
