‘Peer-to-Peer’ Trading of Electricity

‘Peer-to-Peer’ energy trading is a digital marketplace, where consumers and producers of renewable energy trade energy directly, without the need for an intermediary.

Dr Vivek Bhandari, Chief Technology Officer for Powerledger ,will describe how their ‘peer-to-peer’ trading system works, and its potential in the energy marketplace. Vivek will share a case study of a current residential project in Fremantle, that is using Powerledger's blockchain technology to track the transactions of rooftop solar energy traded within the local community.
