Shanghai-based Energo Labs and clean supplier First Gen recently unveiled a cutting-edge clean energy project at De La Salle University-Dasmariñas (DLSU-D). Structured around a campus microgrid, this project demonstrates the power of disruptive “blockchain” technology to enable “peer-to-peer” (P2P) exchange of electricity between “prosumers” e.g. buildings that both consume and supply power at the same time, for a more efficient and reliable energy supply through renewables. This innovative energy accounting system utilizes emerging distributed ledger technology to moderate and record these transactions.
Energo Labs, a global enterprise dedicated to transforming the renewable energy industry through the use of decentralized technology, also donated a 10-kilowatt (KW) solar system to DLSU-D. Along with boosting renewable energy production on campus thus saving up to P1.2M over its 20-year life, this new solar system will boost renewable energy production on campus, complementing DLSU-D’s push to become on the world’s most sustainable campuses. It is currently ranked 23rd in Asia based on the 2017 Green Metric World University ranking.
