1. A predictive controller for building equipment associated with a building, the predictive controller comprising one or more processing circuits configured to:
control electric energy used by the building equipment, the building equipment comprising an electric energy using component; and
use a predictive cost function to determine a first amount of the electric energy supplied from an energy grid source and a second amount of the electric energy supplied from a second energy source to the electric energy using component.
