Freeing local energy
How do we unlock the potential of a 100% renewables-based energy system and systematically improve our society’s energy autonomy? How do we interconnect millions of local energy assets to generate, store, convert, and share energy? What do we need to develop and build together to give every user the liberty to choose what role(s) to fulfill on the Internet of Energy?
