Decentralising Energy: How Blockchain is Transforming the Grid – with Dr. Jemma Green of PowerLedger
The way we generate, trade, and consume energy is changing fast. In this episode of Climate Confident, I speak with Dr. Jemma Green, Co-Founder & Chairman of PowerLedger, about how blockchain technology is revolutionising the energy market and giving consumers more control over their electricity.
We discuss:
🔹 The shift from feed-in tariffs to peer-to-peer energy trading
🔹 How blockchain-backed renewable energy certificates improve transparency
🔹 The role of electric vehicles & vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology in energy storage
🔹 Why decentralised energy systems could lower costs and stabilise the grid
🔹 How businesses can optimise energy use with corporate renewable trading
With rising energy prices, grid instability, and increasing demand for clean energy, these innovations could be key to a more sustainable and affordable energy future.
Whether youre an energy consumer, investor, or sustainability advocate, this episode offers valuable insights into how blockchain and decentralised grids are shaping the future of renewable energy.
