BUSINESS CONCEPT #320 - LOCAL ENERGY TRADING PLATFORM (P2P)

A blockchain-based digital marketplace allowing households with solar panels to sell excess power directly to neighbours.

This platform is a decentralised energy marketplace that enables Northland residents to trade excess solar power within their own neighborhoods. It serves whānau who want lower energy bills and energy-producing households looking for a fair return on their investment without the "middle-man" of a national retailer.

The Problem: The current "Colonial Grid" is a linear, centralised system where energy value is extracted from the region by offshore-owned retailers. Households with solar panels are often paid pennies for the energy they export, while their neighbours are charged high rates for that same power.


The Solution: We are building a "Mesh Network" of distributed sovereignty. Our blockchain platform allows households to sell energy directly to their neighbours at a mutually beneficial price, bypassing the national grid retailer and keeping wealth in the region.
