Why am I receiving emails about energy trades? ๐Ÿ“„

Written by Lisa Cowgill

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 whatโ€™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 doesnโ€™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
