Kerala Proposes Peer-to-Peer Energy Trading in Draft Rules
Kerala is creating new rules about clean energy.
These rules will allow people who make their own solar power to sell any extra power they don't need directly to others, like an online store.
The government wants to make it easy for people to buy and sell energy through the existing power lines.
Anyone who wants to buy energy will need to sign up.
The local power company will help set this up.
The power company will also make sure the power grid stays stable.
This is similar to how some people can already buy power from different places, but it's for everyone, not just big companies.
Kerala is drafting new regulations for renewable energy.
The regulations introduce peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading.
P2P allows prosumers to sell excess energy.
Trading will occur via an online platform.
Distribution licensees will facilitate and monitor P2P transactions.
