#206 Karl Kreder: Grid+ - Unlocking Direct Access to Wholesale Energy Markets
https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/epicenter-206-karl-kreder-grid-unlocking-direct-access-to-wholesale-energy-markets
Energy markets form a complex ecosystem of actors. Wholesale energy producers create energy through various means, grid operators transport electricity over long distances and deliver it to homes and businesses, who buy it from local utility companies. The utilities act as resellers in this scheme and take on much of the financial risk associated with selling a commodity which is consumed long before payment settlement from consumers. However, utilities have high operation and marketing costs and charge a high markup on the electricity they buy from wholesalers. Karl Kreder, Co-founder of Grid+, a Consensys project, joins us to talk about how blockchain technology can help disintermediate utilities and allow consumers buy electricity directly from producers. The Grid+ Agent is a hardware device which sits in your home, is connected to your energy meter and can interact with the power grid. The Agent has built-in logic allowing it to respond to your energy needs and predict usage. It is also equipped with a Trusted Execution Environment and a wallet which keeps private keys secure and can make near real-time payments to the network. Topics discussed in this episode:Karl's background and how he became part of Consensys EnergyA high-level overview of the energy market and the different players in this ecosystemWhere lie the inefficiencies and how they can be improvedThe challenges facing the energy market todayThe Grid+ Agent and its functionalityHow the Grid+ Agent works and how it interacts with the gridOther potential applications for the Grid+ AgentThe economics of the Grid+ smart contract and how it handles riskThe Grid+ token saleLinks mentioned in this episode: Grid+ (https://gridplus.io/)Grid+ Whitepaper (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz90riPGRHquNDVXVE81RmppaUk/view)What is Grid+? - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwkjAXom_6U)Support the show, consider donating: BTC: 1CD83r9EzFinDNWwmRW4ssgCbhsM5bxXwg (https://epicenter.tv/tipbtc)ETH: 0x8cdb49ca5103Ce06717C4daBBFD4857183f50935 (https://epicenter.tv/tipeth)This episode is also available on :Epicenter.tv (https://epicenter.tv/206)YouTube (http://youtu.be/u1M2N8N6kuw)Souncloud (http://soundcloud.com/epicenterbitcoin/eb-206)Watch or listen, Epicenter is available wherever you get your podcasts.Epicenter is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain, S?ƒbastien Couture & Meher Roy.
