Smart meter data “has literally your entire pattern of life and behaviour through just monitoring where you live and what you do in your home.” - says our co-founder and CTO Kaspar in the article on how intimate data about the private lives of millions of Australians will be analysed and monetised by a partnership between a New Zealand company and a subsidiary of the world's biggest retailer, Amazon. "There was a time where we didn't recognise that what posts you 'like' on Facebook is very private and identifiable — smart meters are the same way," Kaspar also said.

Our CISO Michael will be taking a part in CIGRE SC C5 panel discussion: https://www.cigre.org/event/other-events/2020/FR/paris/four-blockchain-energy-projects---panel-discussion Established in 1921 in Paris, France, CIGRE is a global community committed to the collaborative development and sharing of power system expertise. The community features thousands of professionals from over 90 countries and 1250 member organisations. CIGRE has created a working group (C5.30) to investigate the use of blockchain in electricity power markets. This group started work in May 2019. The working group’s first phase, Exploration, was an assessment of the potential value and uses of block chain technologies in energy markets and power systems. The second phase, Assessment, is a review of a range of trials and examples of early adoption of projects that use block chain. Forty operational projects have been selected and assessed against a standard assessment framework. During this panel discussion, invited speakers will describe four operational blockchain projects which they have implemented.

"In Australia, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) have become the vehicle for businesses to tap into renewable energy by agreeing to a sizable power offtake, typically consisting of solar and wind-generated power. This is where the $2M threshold would come into play, effectively making direct purchasing of renewable energy a non-starter for small businesses. The traceability of blockchain technology, however, enables these large deals to be broken down, “tokenising” that power as a usable offtake itself, while still being linked to the larger source it was taken from. This effectively brings the cost down as low as $100k – a game-changer for small businesses. " - explains Nick in his article.

In ECOGENERATION August’s issue our co-founder & CTO Kaspar comments on WePower making it possible for a small business to “get the slice of PPA pie” (p. 14) https://www.ecogeneration.com.au/pdf/ECO_AUG_2020_web.pdf

"One of the reasons that blockchain is so uniquely applicable to the energy industry – and particularly to power procurement for business – is that it can connect energy expenditure by end users back to generation projects in a way that’s reliable, transparent and secure." - Nick Martyniuk https://dynamicbusiness.com.au/topics/small-business-resources/how-smaller-companies-can-accelerate-their-shift-to-renewables.html

Back in April, together with other European grid operators, Elering organised a Europe-wide competition to select pilots of innovative energy products and services which need access to metering data. Proud to be one of the winners! https://www.estfeed.eu/en/pilots
