power ledger has a excellent energy solution but it is a bit differnt from electrify's.
it would be like comparing apples to oranges.
power ledger focuses on micro grids (small towns, apartment blocks, condos, etc) while electrify focuses more on main grids.
with electrify, it is more of a marketplace for retailers/producers.
retailers can list their product on the platform and save on costs due to automation/smart contracts/no middleman/lower tx fees.
energy producers are also able to install a powerpod and start selling their energy production directly to consumers via electrify's marketplace
electrify is also partnering up with omisego to use their ewallet solution. this means users can easily pay for their bills in fiat (cash/card). this means it will be extremely straight forward for the average person to pay their bills. no need to sign up to an exchange, work out the btc rate for this and that, purchase tokens (that might jump or drop in value) to pay bills etc
there will be interesting/useful features such as "auto switch" to cheapest electricity plan, which consumers will love. no more need to research all the time, let the platform work it out for them
also since the omg network will be utilising plasma, a next level scaling solution, tx fees will be extremely low for retailers/producers.
and yep i talked about this with the first time i met with the electrify guys. there's PLENTY of space for everyone in this market space. they said that it wouldn't be a power ledger for all of melbourne and only electrify for sydney etc. it will be a mix of multiple energy solutions working together. that's the future they envisioned
