Besides residential PV and storage systems, our study also includes exchange of electricity within the neighbourhood.
The increasing role of intermittent renewable generation demands for an efficient spatial exchange of electricity.
While the number of roof-top solar panels is increasing, the local exchange of electricity is still under development.
The model we apply in this paper has three components: rooftop PV panels, peer-to-peer exchange of electricity and in-home storage.
The dominant role of ONEE should, however, become weaker; in 2012, Morocco adopted a national regulatory framework for the electricity sector, which provides a free market for the exchange of electricity from renewable sources (Act 13 09).
Since in scenarios 1 and 3 no storage is included, Fig. 4 only shows graphs for scenarios 2, 4 and 5, the difference between scenario 2 and scenarios 4 and 5 being peer-to-peer exchange of electricity.
Reliant Energy is one of several companies that followed Enron in offering online exchanges for electricity and natural gas.
Coal remains the central source of electricity.
On the Paris energy exchange, Powernext, the price of electricity has soared, rising to 67 euros a megawatt-hour today, compared with less than 40 euros in June, as demand for power to run air-conditioners and other cooling devices surges.

Our article on the other hand incentives them to study the impact of PV, in-home storage and peer-to-peer exchange on the demand of electricity itself.
