BRPL partners with Power Ledger for blockchain-based trial

BSES Rajdhani Power Limited has partnered with Power Ledger, a blockchain-based renewable energy trader, and launched trials for a P2P energy trading platform. The platform will allow residents with rooftop solar installations to sell excess energy to their neighbours instead of letting it flow back to the power grid. The idea is to give participants easier and cheaper access to renewable energy and for solar installation owners to monetise the power generated. When implemented, this will be a first-of-its-kind venture in the country. The 5-6 MW trial will be conducted in gated communities of Dwarka in Delhi.
