This challenge creates an opportunity for community-focused energy utilities, such as Elektrizitätswerke Schönau eG (EWS) based in Schönau, Germany, to try a new approach to assist its customers, makes the transition to a more sustainable future. This chapter describes how EWS is developing products and offering community-based solutions including peer-to-peer trading using automated platforms. Such innovative offering may lead to successful differentiation in a competitive and highly decentralized future.
