Call for papers - p2p energy production and distribution


We invite contributions for our upcoming special issue entitled "A critical
view on Peer-to-Peer energy production and distribution".


It can be argued that a shift to a P2P-based, sustainable society would be
based on a set of inter-related infrastructures:


* A distributed communication and coordination infrastructure with tools for
more transparent governance.
* A distributed money infrastructure that might be based on open money
systems.
* A distributed agriculture and manufacturing infrastructure which has been
emerging with open design communities.
* Αnd last but not least, the energy production and distribution
infrastructure i.e. P2P energy: the ability to produce energy in a
sustainable way at a hyperlocal scale.


This issue aims to shed light on this dynamically evolving subject of P2P
energy production and distribution, and identify the challenges that lie
ahead. Hence, we are interested in any article that would discuss the
potential, the challenges and the applications of P2P alternative modes of
energy production and distribution.
