Today, Australian blockchain firm Power Ledger announced a partnership with French renewables supplier ekWateur to develop a blockchain energy trading platform in the country in which consumers choose the energy source. The green energy firm will access Power Ledger’s Vision platform to certify the origin and source of renewable energy.
ekWateur claims to provide 100% green energy whose traceability is certified by the Guarantees of Origin certificate. Currently, the company services over 220,000 customers in France, many of whom will be able to use Power Ledger’s blockchain platform by the end of the year to source energy from renewable sources.
The deal involves two aspects — a trading platform and a traceability solution. Power Ledger’s blockchain solution allows prosumers of solar and wind energy to sell excess electricity on the trading platform. Meanwhile, the Vision product will enable users to choose where their power is sourced from and set preferences for buying electricity from a particular producer.
