Energy crisis – The path to P2P energy
This is the 1st of a 3 part series by Silvia Garcia Alonso on P2P responses to the water and energy crisis. The text is also available in Spanish on her website.

At that point we were always talking about communities or households, but the logic applies equally to the distribution and generation of energy in every single country.
