Powerledger (POWR) is a technology company specializing in the development of software for distributed and decentralized energy markets aimed at promoting a sustainable future. The company has created a blockchain-based platform designed to facilitate the tracking and trading of energy, flexibility services, and environmental commodities. Powerledger's objective is to provide the infrastructure for a fully modernized, market-driven grid that empowers consumers with choices regarding their energy sources, while promoting the democratization of power. Based in Zug, Switzerland, Powerledger is active in over 10 countries. The company operates using two blockchain layers: the POWR token, which is issued on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token, and the Powerledger blockchain, a native Solana-based platform designed to handle energy transactions within a more scalable network. The POWR token functions as an ERC-20 token and serves as a license necessary for businesses, such as utilities, renewable energy operators, microgrids, companies dedicated to 100% renewable energy, and property developers, to access Powerledger’s platform. Additionally, it is designed for future use in transaction payments on the Powerledger blockchain. By 2015, 30 countries had achieved grid parity, where the cost of solar energy equaled or undercut local retail electricity prices. Powerledger effectively merges renewable energy with blockchain technology, providing energy solutions that are both cost-effective and environmentally sustainable compared to traditional energy sources.

Powerledger (POWR) was co-founded by Dr. Jemma Green and John Bulich in 2016. Dr. Jemma Green serves as the executive chairman of Powerledger. With a decade-long experience as an investment banker in London, she returned to Perth to pursue a PhD focused on electricity market disruption. In her quest to develop software enabling peer-to-peer energy trading, she met John Bulich, an expert in blockchain solutions known for his innovative contributions across different industries. Together, they conceptualized Powerledger, addressing the demand for transparency and an additional peer-to-peer transaction layer in energy markets, particularly as renewable energy sources become more integrated into the grid. In 2018, Dr. Jemma Green was awarded Sir Richard Branson’s Extreme Tech Challenge award and the EY Fintech Entrepreneur of the Year award. In 2024, she collaborated with former FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss to co-author the bestselling book, 'Empathy and Understanding in Business.' John Bulich is the technical director at Powerledger and a pioneer in blockchain technology in Australia. After co-founding Ledger Assets, he gained recognition as a technology entrepreneur with a focus on blockchain design and implementation. John provides strategic insight into the conceptual, system, and application design and development at Powerledger. His extensive experience in software and blockchain development ensures Powerledger maintains its technical advantage.

Powerledger was established in 2016 to address a critical issue: the intermittency of energy derived from solar and wind sources, which lacks the consistent quality offered by fossil fuels, thereby posing challenges for the grid. Powerledger's strategy involved creating a highly flexible market to manage this intermittency and facilitate a transition to a more responsive, distributed network with enhanced storage capabilities. Its software is utilized by utilities and large corporations to track, trace, and trade every kilowatt of energy, improving grid stability. The Powerledger software is crafted for energy provenance tracking and portfolio management (PPA Vision), offering solutions for more cost-effective renewable energy through secondary markets and peer-to-peer energy trading (Secondary PPA Exchange and xGrid), and developing efficient marketplaces for trading environmental commodities (TraceX). Powerledger's solutions leverage blockchain technology in various ways. For instance, Vision and PPA Vision employ blockchain to track each kilowatt hour in terms of type, time, and location. Furthermore, Powerledger provides products that use blockchain to document transactions between buyers and sellers of Environmental Attribute Certificates (EACs) and facilitate settlements between the parties. These EACs can be tokenized and integrated with traditional certificate registries and, progressively, blockchain registries as well.

As of February 2021, Power Ledger (POWR) has a circulating supply of 425,498,654 POWR, with a maximum supply capped at 1,000,000,000 POWR. For further details and updates, please refer to Eulerpool.

Powerledger enables renewable energy asset owners to choose their buyers and set their prices. Transactions occur within a monitored distribution network, ensuring a secure revenue stream. Users can protect their POWR using a hardware wallet. POWR is an ERC-20 token compatible with any wallet that supports Ethereum. Powerledger’s software suite operates on the Powerledger blockchain for essential transactions, benefiting from its greater scalability compared to the Ethereum public blockchain. The Powerledger blockchain is constructed on a modified version of Solana software and is secured through staking, which is facilitated by the official Powerledger staking platform.
