Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011030303A1] In a system for distributing a consumable resource the resource is supplied by an generation and/or distribution installation or plant (1-3) to a plurality of users (4a-4e), through a distribution network (5). A respective consumption threshold of the resource is assigned to each user (4a-4e) and the possibility of varying the consumption threshold of the resource assigned to at least one first user and one second user (4a, 4e) is provided for. Provided for such purpose is a processing system (10), configured to allow: - the first user (4a) to offer at least one share of consumption of the resource assigned thereto according to a predetermined limit, and - the second user (4e) to accept at least one share of consumption offered by the first user (4a), and thus conclude the transaction. The threshold consumption of the resource assigned to the first user (4a) and the consumption threshold of the resource assigned to the second user (4e) are modified, respectively reducing and increasing, depending on the information representative of the performed transaction.
