Abstract: Sustainability and innovation are two inseparable concepts. This study aims to integrate new technologies with the development of energy trading projects grounded on environmental sustainability and energetic efficiency. These projects, based on peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading systems, may significantly change the paradigm of energy distribution management, while also introducing stronger renewable energy sources. As such, in this study an extensive literature review is conducted with the objective of introducing and explaining P2P systems, and a review of existing projects is made to show the benefits these systems may have. Also, a survey is conducted to understand how several factors influence the implementation value of P2P systems, and the results obtained show a strong interest in these projects. Finally, conclusions are drawn concerning the high value of P2P systems and show how this energy trading model may be the future of energy distribution management.
