Objectives
Abstract Community energy trading is a new way of buying and selling energy which is in advanced trials around Europe. It s about householders and small businesses buying and selling electricity from each other (either directly or via a local intermediary) without being obliged to deal with a national electricity supplier or to pay the prices that it sets. Swanbarton has its own community energy trading technology, and is now investigating the market for a product to help make all community energy trading (whatever technology it uses) safe and secure against the cyber-threats that every new internet-enabled business model is exposed to
