    From the editorial:

    “While writing the text of the call for papers for the current issue, our primary aim was to invite contributions towards a critical view of the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy production and distribution. However, a call for papers has always been an open challenge — being unsure of what and where you will finally get — and so we came to understand that in fact, before critically examine the aforementioned, a solid, integral theoretical framework has to be articulated.

    Hence, the papers and the interviews included in this special issue describe the certain context in which discussions and experiments, about and with these alternative modes of energy production and distribution, are taking place. Moreover, this issue sheds light on the relevant infrastructures; provides assumptions about the future; refers to the Greek case; and deals with the emerging political economy of P2P energy production and distribution.

    Hopefully this issue will serve as a stepping stone towards a better realization of the P2P paradigm’s potential and its application to the real world.”

    This issue includes some very interesting contributions from friends and members of P2P foundation, such as: Michel Bauwens’, George Papanikolaou’s, Eric Hunting’s, and Stelios Stavroulakis’.
