One of the more tangible steps that foster the #energy #transition, is the #fractionalization of #energy #assets. However, tangible doesn’t necessarily mean easier. There are still several hurdles to overcome and best practices to be developed. Think about technical and regulatory issues and questions such as ‘who should lead the implementation: top-down vs. bottom-up?’
In the coming months, @CatenaPower and @Blocklab will roll out MVPs to showcase that fractionalizing energy is possible and to discover which unforeseen hurdles have to be tackled. What do you think they will come across?

One of the more tangible steps in tokenizing the energy sector is fractionalizing energy assets and applying tokenization (fractional ownership). The first step that is necessary for system integration, is showing that fractional ownership is able within the legal framework. From a technical point of view, it is easily doable. However, from a regulatory point of view, it is more complicated. You first need to overcome those issues, before you can start developing the underlying technology.

Discussion between top-down vs. bottom-up. Also, there are several other hurdles that need to be tackled before fractional ownership of solar panels can be achieved. However, does the definition that is created by the business, fit the legislation. That’s rather difficult, cause you don’t know what you are exactly looking at (ownership, consumption). You simply choose a way to fit in the current regulation, it’s not the best solution, but let’s squeeze it in.

 In the next few months, we will have to create a general understanding of energy tokens, source, and offtake tokens to speed up the discussion and development. Expect some interesting new projects/MVPs in the coming months to see how fractional ownership works. Certainly, there will be many unforeseen problems to overcome. What do you think these MVPs will have to face?

Blocklab is creating such a platform: We face a huge challenge in the de-energy transition. The more difficult part is that we need everyone to be involved to make a change. It’s not just investors or the government, or the network operators, but it’s all of us.

Meindert Jansberg: Working for Catena Power, focus on democratizing energy assets. Think it’s a way to give people the tools to orchestrate and balance their use of energy. Before we can let people manage their own energy, there are a lot of steps to be taken. This helps to create energy independence.
