would there be tie-ups with utilities in future?
The guys working with Utilities already are the ones from the PROSUME.io ICO.
They already have projects running ion building microcommunities with various European Utilities as well as a large project with a Transmission System Operator.
The problems with peer to peer transactions energy transactions are of two main origins.
1. legal limitations for a non utility related energy producer to sell against value to another common citizen
2. transmission and distribution costs to be paid to the Grid Operator.
Prosume has solved both these points in order to build a very strong business case from day one.
Hi Giacomo,
Thanks for promoting your ICO in our thread! The project seems interesting however, Pylon Network offers much more than a P-2-P platform for electricity exchange. Pylon Network provides the framework for the creation of a self-governed energy-based economy, built around renewable energy.
At the same time, we have solved both of the problems you are mentioning and our model is applicable in the rest of EU, not only on one country.
Our platform is not restricted to exclusive use and is open to all energy cooperatives who want to adopt it to their specific needs.
Again, thanks for your comment and good luck with your project!
Cheers!
