Energy Web

Energy Web (EW) is a global nonprofit organization accelerating a low-carbon, customer-centric electricity system by unleashing the potential of open-source, decentralized technologies. EW focuses on building core infrastructure and shared technology, speeding adoption of commercial solutions, and fostering a community of practice.

In 2019 EW launched the Energy Web Chain, the world’s first open-source, enterprise blockchain platform tailored to the energy sector. EW’s technology roadmap has since grown into the Energy Web Decentralized Operating System (EW-DOS), a full stack that includes front-end applications and a variety of software development toolkits. EW also grew the world’s largest energy-sector ecosystem—comprising utilities, grid operators, renewable energy developers, corporate energy buyers, and others—focused on open-source, decentralized digital technologies.

BUILDING CORE INFRASTRUCTURE AND SHARED TECHNOLOGY

Developed and steward the Energy Web Decentralized Operating System (EW-DOS), an open-source stack of decentralized software and standards—including the Energy Web Chain and various SDKs—that support two primary use cases: 1) clean energy and carbon emissions traceability and 2) using distributed energy resources to increase grid flexibility.

EW-DOS is the grid’s new digital DNA, a shared technology running on a decentralized network maintained by some of the world’s most-respected energy companies.

SPEEDING ADOPTION OF COMMERCIAL SOLUTIONS:

Work directly with energy market participants to build and deploy market-specific commercial solutions on top of EW-DOS.

Also support, convene, and advise market participants on how to create business and customer value with blockchain and other digital technologies.

FOSTERING A COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE:

As a mission-driven nonprofit, they are fostering a sustainable ecosystem around EW-DOS. Built the world’s largest energy-sector ecosystem focused on open-source, decentralized tech.

Foster community through a) training and education on decentralized technologies and b) connecting peers across the industry who are facing similar challenges and pioneering decentralized solutions together.
