3. The Users TCP and the International Energy Agency (IEA)
The International Energy Agency (IEA) is an intergovernmental
organisation that works to shape a secure and sustainable future for
all, through a focus on all fuels and all technologies, and analysis and
policy advice to governments and industry around the world.
To facilitate global cooperation on energy technology, the IEA created
the Technology Collaboration Programme (TCP). Today, the Users TCP
is one of 38 TCPs, each focused on a different topic. Together, they
connect thousands of experts across government, academia and
industry in 55 countries dedicated to advancing energy technology
research and application.
The Users TCP is functionally and legally autonomous from the IEA.
Views and findings of the Users TCP do not necessarily reflect those
of the IEA.
4. Decentralisation of energy system
Energy self-consumption through
P2P/TE & CSC: solution to grid
management challenges.
Facilitated by technologies such as
DLTs (e.g. blockchain).
Roll-out of pilots in China, US,
Europe etc.
New laws recognising right to P2P.
Background
5. • Connected smart
meter: imported and
exported electricity is
measured and
recorded by the
system.
• Based on data, system
matches buyers and
sellers of self-
generated renewable
energy and then settles
(financial) transactions
between them.
Energy trading: how does it work?

6. What is the Global Observatory (GO-P2P)?
GO-P2P is the first international pre-competitive and early
stage research collaboration on the whole systems
implications of local energy models.
Leading institutions researching peer-to-peer energy trading
(P2P), transactive energy (TE) and community self-
consumption (CSC) models.
International exchange of valuable evidence on factors
determining uptake of these models and their viability.
Platform for collaboration between all stakeholders in the
P2P/TE/CSC fields (policymakers, businesses, NGOs,
researchers).

which is a method allowing for the comparison of different policy contexts.
ST1: Power System layer
ST2: Software layer
ST3: Markets layer
ST4: Econ/Social layer
ST5: Policy & Regs layer
ST0: Research design and management.
ST6: ICA of
case studies
Outputs:
- Common success factors
- ‘Readiness Index’ by country
10. Key Deliverables
Sub-task reports on state of art and key challenges by
functional stack layer.
Country level reports on key factors determining the
uptake of P2P/TE/CSC business models.
National Readiness Index rating of participating
countries to adopt P2P/TE/CSC models.
In parallel, participants collaborate through
conferences sessions, journal special issues, and
contributing to IEA and CEM reports where
appropriate.
11. International engagement
Close engagement with key int’l stakeholders,
including:
• International Energy Agency (IEA)
• International Association for Trusted Blockchain
Applications (INATBA): New GO-P2P/INATBA Task
Force launched in September 2020.
• International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)
• OECD
12. GO-P2P/INATBA Task Force
International Association for Trusted Blockchain
Applications (INATBA) - EU initiative launched in 2019
Largest global policy focused initiative on the
application of DLTs across all economic sectors,
including energy
Aim: study P2P/TE/CSC pilots using distributed ledger
technologies (DLTs) such as blockchain assess
standardisation efforts in the field
Any member of GO-P2P and INATBA can join the Task
Force
13. Current status GO-P2P
Wrapping up Phase 1 (laying groundwork for case studies):
Sub-task literature reviews: Describe the current state of
knowledge covered by each sub-task, i.e. challenges and
knowledge gaps.
Research strategy document: Common data collection
protocols needed to ensure case study data can
be analysed by a common method such as qualitative
comparative analysis (QCA).
Concept definition paper: Framing characteristics of pilots
we will select for analysis- based on sub-task group
interviews run by UCL - results in next slides.
14. Emerging findings: Essential characteristics
Power Systems layer (ST 1): P2P/TE/CSC systems operate autonomously,
promote self-consumption and support renewables integration.
ICT and Data layer (ST 2): ICT supports future ‘big data’ needs; meets local data
protection laws; supports device level agents acting on user preferences;
provides traceable identity of machines.
Transactions and Markets layer (ST 3): Enabled by digitalisation and integration
of devices and communication; able to trade commodities and services; can
capture value from flexibility and balancing; are decentralised.
Social and Economic layer (ST 4): Supports trading between social units;
generates, modifies, or reinforces social values; simultaneously located in
home, community and market spheres of economy.
Policy and Regulation layer (ST 5): Provides bottom-up governance; provides
legal recognition of prosumers etc.
15. Emerging findings: Potential clashes
‘Bottom-up governance model reflecting decentralisation’ (ST 5) potential clash
with characteristics ‘Systems operate autonomously’ (ST 1) and ‘Market determined
pricing (including dynamic pricing)’ (ST 4).
Comment: To what extent can systems be automated to still be called ‘peer-to-
peer’?
‘Ability to trade commodity i.e. energy, or services’ (ST 3) potential clash with
characteristic ‘Open and equitable access to P2P/CSC/TE models (bottom-up market
design)’ (ST 4).
Comment: There may be a conflict between making markets open to everyone,
and some providers wanting to cherry-pick valuable participants.
16. Emerging findings: Potential clashes
‘Market determined pricing (including dynamic pricing)’ (ST 4) potential clash
with characteristic ‘Prosumer-centric markets’ (ST 3).
Comment: Market-determined pricing is not a pre-requisite of a P2P/TE/CSC
model, as prices may be negotiated democratically - in some micro-grid
projects, the precise returns and savings are a product of negotiation.
‘P2P/TE/CSC systems include Advanced Metering Infrastructure ('smart meters')
capable of measuring flows (imports and exports) across the meter at different
timeframes depending on market requirements’ (ST 2) potential clash with
characteristic ‘Open and equitable access to P2P/CSC/TE models (bottom-up market
design)’ raised by ST 4.
Comment: Key question here is who owns and has access to the smart meter
data.
17. Legal/regulatory challenges
• Data privacy
• Rights and responsibilities of sellers/buyers on a P2P/TE/CSC
system
• Validity of trading contracts, particularly ‘smart contracts’ (in
the case of blockchain)- this will be explored through recently
launched GO-P2P/INATBA Task Force
• Different regulatory approaches: sandbox vs prescriptive legal
provisions
• Different aims of P2P/TE/CSC schemes, e.g. US more grid-
centric approach vs EU more prosumer-centric approach
18. Summary
GO-P2P is an international forum for understanding the
policy, regulatory, social and technological conditions
necessary to support the wider deployment of P2P/TE/CSC
models.
