“Quartierstrom” (district power in English) project aims to promote the production and consumption of solar energy locally. It enables the set-up of exchange and remuneration of electricity between consumers, prosumers and the local electric grid provider. More specifically, it developed a prototype of a microgrid in which solar power is traded within a local community in Walenstadt.
