Peer-to-Peer energy trading and community self-consumption

Abstract:

Electricity markets are experiencing a shift to a more decentralized structure. While peer-to-peer (P2P) markets are a promising strategy to grant consumers and small-scale producers a more active role in energy markets, in reality they face multiple complex barriers. As one of the first local P2P energy markets worldwide actually deployed, the Quartierstrom project explores the feasibility and impact of a P2P energy market in the real world in a pilot with 37 households.
