We can’t treat renewables as plug and play. We need storage. We don’t just need more clean energy—we need buffering, balancing, and control.
And that means one thing: batteries. Batteries are no longer optional. They’re becoming the backbone of a stable, renewable grid.

With over 1M connected devices and users, @starpowerworld has demonstrated early traction.

AI is projected to increase energy demand by 18% by 2050, adding pressure to already stressed energy systems.

Here's everything you need to know about this decentralized energy DePIN 👇

Absolutely agree, Starpower is going all in on driving real revenue and long-term value.

[Dylan Bane @dylangbane]

DePIN has a no man's land problem.

Fundamental investors believe that MCaps are too high to justify investment based on current revenue.

Crypto native investors believe that revenue limits upside by grounding MCaps in reality thus avoiding exposure.

Solution: Grow Revenue.

@lfsmoura we don't have any partners for our batteries in Brazil yet, but get there sooner or later.

Negative electricity prices this morning in NSW. Look at the price fluctuations on the chart—this is exactly why virtual power plant matters.

[Darcy @Darcy_Starpower]

This is why you need Starbattery: slash your electric bill by hundreds, just by storing sunlight. One customer cut their monthly bill from about $250 to just $70—and with a $75 NSW subsidy, their final bill was $0! Solar power + battery storage = real savings.

Why Starpower believe battery? The Grid is Broken. Storage is the Fix.
The Duck Curve is no joke—it’s the reality of a grid designed for yesterday’s world. As solar penetration skyrockets, midday power demand collapses, and by sunset, the grid gets hammered with a massive ramp-up in demand. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.
But here’s the opportunity: Energy storage is about to become the most valuable asset in the power market. The problem isn’t energy generation—we have more than enough. The problem is timing.
By 2025, battery storage will no longer be a luxury; it will be a necessity. And not just for utilities—for every home, every business, every device. Starpower is building the decentralized energy network of the future—one where smart batteries and intelligent power control aren’t just fixing the grid; they’re rewiring the economics of energy.
This is the beginning of a massive transition. If you’re still thinking of storage as a backup, you’re missing the bigger picture. Storage is the new generation.

Congrats to @starpowerworld (ALL13) on their $4M raise!

Starpower is the largest energy DePIN on Solana and is tackling the problem of unstable power grids.

Starpower creates virtual power plants (VPPs) — i.e., networks of internet-connected home energy devices (e.g. home batteries, solar panels, and electric vehicles) — to moderate energy usage during low- or high-demand periods using crypto incentives.

[Starpower⚡️ @starpowerworld]

We are excited to announce that Starpower has raised $4M in funding rounds led by @hiFramework, with participation from @SolanaVentures and @alliancedao.

Together, we are building the DePIN to address the growing energy demands of AI.

2024 ends, and the clock is ticking for action!
BloombergNEF estimates the world needs $215 trillion in energy investments by 2050 to achieve net-zero. That means accelerating clean tech deployment, scaling renewables, energy storage, EVs, and green fuels, and slashing emissions across power, transport, industry, and buildings.
We’ve made progress: clean tech investments are at record highs. But emissions remain stubborn. This decade is make-or-break. Aligning with net-zero demands immediate action to peak emissions and reduce fossil fuel use now.
At Starpower, we’re all in. From Starplug smart hardware to Starbattery and blockchain-powered energy networks, we’re driving solutions to make distributed energy and Virtual Power Plants a reality. Every connection brings us closer to a sustainable, carbon-neutral future.
2025 promise: We’ll keep pushing boundaries in energy IoT and decentralization. The time to act is now – let’s make it count.

1/ In the late 20th century, Ireland implemented significant tax reforms that played a crucial role in attracting foreign direct investment, particularly in the IT sector. By lowering the corporate tax rate to a competitive 12.5%, Ireland became an attractive destination for multinational companies.

This tax policy helped create an environment conducive to rapid economic development, making Ireland a hub for global tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Apple, whose European headquarters were established in the country.

The path to net-zero needs $811B/year in grid investments by 2030. This trillion-dollar race is just getting started — and Starpower is already in the game.

Battery Pack Prices See Largest Drop Since 2017. We’re at the tipping point for mass adoption. But here’s the catch: energy storage batteries are a one-time buy for 5���10 years. The real game now? Owning the backyard. Every battery company should focus on this in the next 12 months.

The future of data centers lies in renewable energy paired with smart battery systems. This is where the real opportunity in the energy sector begins. Tools like Starpower can help data centers manage energy more efficiently and drastically reduce their carbon footprint.

[Darcy @Darcy_Starpower]

Data centers aren’t great at tracking carbon emissions. Only 27% report electricity-related emissions. Just 18% track supply chain emissions.
We can’t fix what we don’t measure. Renewable energy and better tracking tools are a must.

We’re facing the energy sector’s 'impossible triangle' :Clean energy, Stable grid, Skyrocketing AI energy demand. Balancing these is the challenge of our time.
Many data centers operate under 40% UPS capacity utilization, impacting energy efficiency and resiliency. High-density IT workloads demand modernized UPS systems to keep up with rising energy needs. Power issues cause 54% of all serious outages. Yup, that’s more than half. And these outages aren’t cheap—1 in 5 costs over $1M. Smarter battery management systems are essential.
