Case study overview
A peer-to-beer energy exchange
To help CUB reach their sustainability targets, we developed the world’s first program to exchange energy for beer.
Powerledger’s technology is powering the VB Solar Exchange program by enabling participants to track and trade their excess solar energy for VB beer.
This maximises renewable energy consumption within the region. It also greatly reduced CO2 emissions by CUB. In turn, participants are rewarded with discounted slabs of VB, delivered straight to their door.
Our xGrid platform allows households and businesses to sell their excess solar energy to other consumers, connected across the same electricity grid. Powerledger’s blockchain platform keeps track of it all, providing an immutable and verifiable audit trail.
