NASA thinks [er, wants to believe -- confirmation bias] that energetic solar particles are making pre-existent water on Ceres more volatile; but similar studies on the Moon, comets, etc. suggest rather an energetic combination of solar "protons" with hydroxyls present on the planetoids, producing transient water. How does this square with your thinking, RM?

The video in this article comments that the bright spots is still active and gets its energy from an unknown source.

Yeah, they speculate that there is a "brine" that continues to make its way from under the surface. It is that that they say requires an energy source that is unknown. They pulled that right out of a hat. It is complete and utter guesswork.
As far as electricity active on Ceres, I think that Steve Smith (where did he go?) answered that quite well earlier in this thread. Ceres is dead. It has no magnetic field, so there's nothing for the solar wind to interact with. Like Mr. Smith wrote, no electromagnetic field means no field-aligned currents. If you are suggesting that electrical activity still exists on Ceres, show me the proof. The solar wind particle density near Ceres is only a few atoms per cubic centimeter.
Whatever happened to Ceres happened a long time ago.

what you say is complete nonsense.
All bodies in the solar environment are charged, they absorb charge and they emit charge, Ceres is no different.
A rock is more conductive so it is harder for charge to pass through, this means no magnetic field. It does not mean that no electrical interactions are possible.
