1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • processing multiple data streams derived from multiple respective energy-related sensors within a network, wherein each of the multiple energy-related sensors is linked to a respective one of multiple spatially distributed prosumers of the network;

    computing an expected utility, with respect to forecast accuracy of energy production within the network, of information captured by each of the multiple energy-related sensors based on said processing;

    determining a reward structure for each of the prosumers of the network based on the expected utility of the information captured by the energy-related sensors linked to each of the prosumers; and

    outputting a reward to each of the prosumers of the network in accordance with the determined reward structure;

    wherein the steps are carried out by at least one computing device.
