Powerledger is a blockchain-based technology company that’s changing how the world generates, trades, and consumes energy. Founded in 2016, Powerledger addresses pressing energy challenges such as grid congestion, lack of energy transparency and intermittency of power.
Built with sustainability and decentralisation at its core, Powerledger offers energy solutions to track, trace and trade every kilowatt hour of energy. With the mission to empower businesses and consumers alike in taking charge of their energy consumption and generation.
What does Powerledger do?
Powerledger provides a decentralised energy platform that enables:
- Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Energy Trading: Households and businesses can sell excess solar or renewable energy to others within their network.
- Energy Traceability: It ensures energy is tracked from generation to consumption, verifying its renewable origin.
- Environmental Markets: Powerledger supports trading of voluntary renewable energy certificates (RECs) in the US market.
Why it matters?
Traditional energy systems rely heavily on centralised systems that generate power in bulk and distribute it through large, expensive infrastructure. This centralised model faces challenges like grid congestion, high transmission losses, and limited energy access in remote areas, especially with the integration of renewables to the grid.
Decentralised energy systems flip this model on its head. In a decentralised setup, energy is generated closer to where it’s used — often through renewables like rooftop solar, wind and traded locally. Instead of depending on a single source, the grid becomes a network of many small producers and consumers.
Powerledger makes this local energy exchange possible and secure by using blockchain technology.
