Peer to Peer energy trading.
Powerledger uses blockchain to trade energy, energy asset financing and trying to accelerate the adoption of a carbon free (sustainable) economy.
Imagine an apartment building that is powered by solar panels where tenants/residents are incentivized to pay to owner of apartment not the power company, and they do so using powerledger platform (more about it in Idea category)
If residents is (aren`t) in the apartment unused energy is sold to neighbor lowering the power bill and make the profit for the owner
One of the great case studies where parties(residents) could potentially own a piece of solar panel/wind farm.
Where does the Blockchain come in this picture?
Blockchain acts as a asset/income register in tokenizing asset, it becomes tradable on exchange, one might own a panel or two or even thousands, and owners can receive their income associated with that amount of ownership
Project deserves 5 stars for their great work, focusing on sustainability, proving the value of blockchain and its adoption. Show Less
