CarbonEnfo Partners with Energy Web to Unlock the Value of Solar Energy Data
CarbonEnfo, a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlanta-based Empower Energy Technology, will leverage Energy Web’s ecosystem and Web 3 infrastructure solutions to develop and launch a range of blockchain-enabled energy data services.
Zug, Switzerland, Sept. 19, 2023 — CarbonEnfo, a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlanta-based Empower Energy Technology, a leader in direct generation solar as well as renewable energy measurement/management, has joined the Energy Web Foundation’s established ecosystem of energy majors and IT service providers by validating Energy Web’s decentralized operating system.
The move comes as CarbonEnfo seeks to extend its expertise in renewable energy data by developing and launching a range of enterprise and consumer-facing solutions for the U.S. market. Last year, utility-scale U.S. solar installations rebounded from COVID-driven supply chain issues and a record 700,000 U.S. homeowners installed rooftop solar systems, a 40% jump from 2021(Solar Energy Industries Association).
CarbonEnfo’s Participation in Energy Web’s Ecosystem
As both an infrastructure operator and validator for the Energy Web ecosystem, CarbonEnfo is contributing to enhanced network security for the Energy Web Chain—the world’s first public blockchain designed explicitly for the energy sector—and by extension all enterprise software solutions that leverage the Energy Web technology stack.
Energy Web solutions are designed to unlock a more decentralized, digitized and decarbonized energy system. “Green Proof” solutions in the Energy Web ecosystem bring radical transparency to new green product supply chains while Data Exchange solutions enable small-scale clean energy assets like electric vehicles and rooftop solar systems to be networked together and used to maintain grid stability.
“We’re very interested in driving trust and transparency across the supply chain, which is why we’re so excited to join the Energy Web ecosystem,” said Thatcher Young, co-founder of CarbonEnfo. “In addition to supporting the public blockchain, we see tremendous value in leveraging the Energy Web technology stack to advance our own application development.”
“We need trusted experts like CarbonEnfo to help create and scale bold new solutions for doing more with renewable energy data. We are delighted to welcome CarbonEnfo to the Energy Web ecosystem,” said Jesse Morris, CEO of Energy Web.
