One of the best features of Powertracer is being able to trade clean energy with someone you know. This is done using a peer-to-peer trade rule to buy or sell energy with the other person.

When creating a new peer-to-peer trade rule, or changing anything about an existing peer-to-peer trade rule for a property you manage, Powertracer will notify you via email.

There are five possible steps that can occur for a peer-to-peer trade rule, and Powertracer will let you know what’s happening every step of the way. These include:

  • Proposing a trade rule - you can propose to buy energy from, or sell energy to, anyone else on the platform who is signed up with the same retailer

  • Accepting a trade rule proposal - you can accept a trade rule proposal, or someone may accept your trade rule proposal to them

  • Cancelling a proposed trade rule - if you proposed a trade rule to someone, but you changed your mind then you can cancel the proposal

  • Rejecting a proposed trade rule - someone may send you a trade rule proposal that doesn’t suit your needs, in which case you can reject the proposal

  • Closing a trade rule - after establishing a peer-to-peer trade rule with someone, either party can decide to close the trade rule
