About
Brooklyn Microgrid is a prototype community microgrid in Brooklyn, NY, whose purpose is to create and manage a local energy network tied to but independent from the power grid. Their mission is to provide 100% renewable energy and to guarantee resilience during power emergencies.
Client Challenge
- The founder and CIO of LO3 Energy needed a development partner to help prove the viability of two critical components of clean energy infrastructure:
- A peer-to-peer network of local solar power users
- A secure trading system based on blockchain tech
- LO3 Energy wanted a microgrid based on clean energy generation, storage, plus a trading platform would allow consumers to bypass the electric utility
- The goal of the Brooklyn Microgrid demo was to operate independent of the power grid, sell energy back to the grid, and perform on its own during power failures
