Overview And Current Problems
In a period where every industry depend on electricity for optimal performance and our daily life also revolves round electricity, and in the event of a power outage industries are brought to a standstill and there is little to nothing we can do productively. There is need for enhancement in the power generation and distribution to promote utmost performance of our industries and to power our homes.
There are some inherent challenges with the current electricity production and distribution. A great percentage of the world’s electricity supply is gotten from the burning of fossil fuel. The negative effect in the environment is one that is causing a lot of concern. It results in Green House Gas (GHG) emission into the atmosphere which is a major culprit of climate change. Health implications and high cost of electricity are some other problems plaguing the energy sector. The have been cases of gas leakages from power plants in the past which left a good number of people hospitalised and another number forced to temporarily relocate.
These and lots of other problems have necessitated the need for a new approach to electricity generation, distribution and billing. A more effective, efficient, eco-friendly and inexpensive electricity for the world.
Eloncity Proposition
The limiting factor to the widespread adoption of alternative renewable energy sources is the high cost of acquiring the materials and maintenance. So ultimately if there is going to be a shift to alternative energy sources, it should be cheap and readily available to end users. Eloncity is a blockchain based project that intends to decentralise the current energy structure. Instead of a centralised power grid powering communities to cities, Eloncity intends to create millions of self-sufficient energy micro grids that will provide clean energy locally and make it available to users at a comparatively competitive price.
Eloncity brings numerous benefits both to users and the environment at large;
- Blockchain technology which will provide a secure, efficient, transparent recording of energy transactions. By eliminating third parties, it will create a seemless energy sharing and billing between users on the Eloncity ecosystem.
- An open marketplace for Communities to trade energy locally. Users produce more electricity than they use will be able to trade the excess electricity to other users.
- Users will find the micro grids and the blockchain technology more reliable than when they have to deal with the centralised grids and human beings when they are issues to settle. Smart contracts will oversee the settlement of transactions in the ecosystem with no room for disputes arising.
- Users will be able to enjoy clean energy at a low cost.
- Eloncity economic model enables individuals to earn income from trading energy in the marketplace with other users.
- By shifting to alternative clean energy sources, environmental and public health is guaranteed.
- It will also reduce Green House Gas emission.
