Abstract
Electric energy can be traded between connected participants such as utility companies. The present method provides a common marketplace which provides participants the ability to display both buy and sell offers to the other participants. The marketplace also allows the participants to consummate a transaction for a quantity of electrical energy. The method further allows the participants to curtail transactions and the delivery of the electrical energy if necessary.
