Grid+ Releases Whitepaper on Ethereum and Our Energy System
"The Future of Energy" Explains Blockchain's Role in Efficiency, Costs, and a Cleaner Future
NEW YORK, July 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- A newly released whitepaper by blockchain-based energy grid system Grid+, a ConsenSys project, explains with supporting data how the Ethereum blockchain is making energy markets more efficient, decreasing consumer cost, and paving the way to a cleaner future.
A few highlights of the in-depth and data-saturated whitepaper include:
- A market-driven approach to further green-energy generation and storage penetration
- How administrative costs can be curbed in energy (and other industries) by "user agency", which occurs when users hold their own value tokens
- How Ethereum brings several efficiencies to the energy industry, an industry historically slow to adopt new technologies
A link to the complete whitepaper, titled "The Future of Energy," is available at https://gridplus.io/.
