Peer-to-Peer Energy Trading

Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading allows individuals with solar panels or renewable energy sources to buy and sell excess electricity directly with neighbors or local users, bypassing traditional utility companies. This decentralized approach uses digital platforms and smart technology to facilitate transactions, promoting more efficient energy use and potentially reducing costs. It encourages sustainable energy sharing within communities, enabling participants to monetize surplus power and access cleaner energy options, fostering a collaborative and resilient energy system.
