Embodiments of a method of operating an electrical grid having at least one electrical consumer and a plurality of electrical producers are disclosed. In the method, a consumption prediction for the electrical consumer is provided, and production predictions for each electrical producer of a plurality of electrical producers are provided. The respective distances between the electrical consumer and each electrical producer of the plurality of electrical producers are determined. An electrical producer of the electrical producers is allocated to the electrical consumer in a first allocating step such that the provided consumption prediction of the electrical consumer matches to the provided production prediction of the at least one electrical producer and such that the determined distance between the electrical consumer and the at least one electrical producer is at least smaller than at least one first distance limit.
