Peer to Peer Energy Trading

Mechanism

Peer-to-peer energy trading utilizes distributed ledger technology to facilitate the direct exchange of electricity between producers and consumers without intermediary utility oversight. This framework employs smart contracts to automate settlement procedures upon the confirmation of energy delivery, effectively removing traditional counterparty risk within localized microgrids. By leveraging blockchain-based consensus protocols, the system ensures data integrity and transactional finality for every kilowatt-hour transferred across the network.
