Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading is a concept that allows energy consumers to trade electricity with each other directly, without the need for a middleman.

This trading is typically done through a blockchain-based platform, which allows for the secure and transparent exchange of energy.

The advantages of P2P energy trading include increased efficiency, lower costs, and greater flexibility.

For example, a homeowner with a rooftop solar panel could sell excess energy to their neighbor, rather than sending it back to the grid.

P2P energy trading could also help to increase the use of renewable energy sources, as it would allow consumers to buy.
