NRG, launched by Renewables.Network, has introduced the world’s first Decentralized Physical Energy Network (DePEN) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This innovative platform merges blockchain technology with real-world energy assets to revolutionize electricity infrastructure globally. The goal of NRG is to create a protocol for electricity that accelerates the clean energy transition in underserved regions of the Global South by leveraging innovative technology and hardware.
One of the key features of NRG is its development of proprietary hardware that interfaces seamlessly with solar inverters and energy meters. These devices enhance verification and data transparency, setting the stage for future breakthroughs in energy metering and management. Additionally, the platform aims to deliver real impact where it is needed most by bridging the gap between physical energy assets and digital platforms for transparency and efficiency.
NRG’s long-term vision is to build a protocol for electricity that fosters efficient, low-cost, high-volume transactions through tokenized assets, virtual renewable grids, and decentralized governance. By connecting energy providers, users, and investors on a blockchain-based platform, NRG offers token-based incentives for supporting renewable energy projects and unlocking renewable energy adoption in the Global South by mobilizing capital.
The platform is powered by a partnership between Distributed Energy (DE) and Ajna Capital, with DE bringing over $15 million in operational solar assets from India and Africa onto the blockchain. This partnership offers proof of concept for NRG’s revolutionary model and demonstrates the potential for impactful energy adoption. The team behind NRG is led by experienced entrepreneurs and innovators, including CEO Ruchir Punjabi, who has a successful track record in managing a $15 million renewable portfolio, and Co-Founder Mathew Mazhuvanchery, who previously sold an energy platform managing $1 billion.
Renewables.Network, the parent company of NRG, is at the forefront of the clean energy revolution and is using blockchain technology to enable decentralized, scalable solutions for electricity generation, distribution, and transactions. With the backing of a $3 billion energy group and a proven track record of success, Renewables.Network is redefining how the world powers itself.
