#50 Platform For a New Energy Economy – A Conversation with David Martin

With the growing adoption of solar power generation across homes and businesses there’s growing need for solutions that simplify the evolution of the grid, and improve ROI. PowerLedger is at the forefront of a new generation of Distributed Energy Management Systems (DERMS), with a platform that enables energy to be sourced from multiple modes of generation and monetized in different ways. Our conversation explored the key macro drivers behind the company’s origins. David Martin explains the company’s origins, the role of blockchain in its technology, and the different aspects of its solutions. Of particular note are the company’s live projects, including a microgrid in Bangkok, projects in Japan and California. While the transition to clean energy generation is revolutionary in many respects, PowerLedger is seeking to ease the challenges of transition and make change as evolutionary as possible.
