Switch Electric

Building metering infrastructure & web3 platform for tokenizing DERs

[Jon (🌄,🌅) @jhruth]

Excited for this upcoming episode featuring my good friend @iChristwin talking about what he is building with @whyNotSwitch and @M3tering

[Crypto Altruists @Crypto_Altruism]

The future of affordable clean energy is decentralized ☀️🔋

We sat down with @iChristwin of @M3tering & @whyNotSwitch to explore how blockchain can help end energy poverty in Africa and build a community-owned power grid for 1B people 🌐💡

🎧Listen: https://t.co/InI2enM3GH

We discuss:
⚡️ How tokenized energy assets & stablecoins built on Ethereum can unlock affordable solar energy where grids fall short
🤝 The role of smart contracts in creating efficient, auditable payment & revenue systems for community-owned grids
⛓️ How blockchain can increase trust & transparency in energy grids, while reducing costs & shifting ownership to the people
⚙️ Bridging the physical & digital with crypto-powered hardware meters

Electricity x Blockchain ... But the right way

@whyNotSwitch and @M3tering is building the locomotive to enable cash infusion in decentralised solar grids.
Solid talk on the why and how 👇👇👇

[Crypto Altruists @Crypto_Altruism]

Decentralized solar, funded at the grassroots level, maintained by community, & powered by Ethereum 🤝☀️

Next week @iChristwin of @M3tering & @whyNotSwitch joins us to explore blockchain's role in ending energy poverty & building a more sustainable world 🌱🌍

Live Tuesday!🗓️

Let's scale this impact 💪😉

Celebrating our friend Jon Ruth today on his birthday 🎉

2025...one smart meter at a time 🗿

[The Solar Foundation @Solar_FND]

We are happy to contribute to this effort by @SolarpunkNomads to help people in Ukraine access solar power & light. Thank you, @Marcobear_eth for your coordination & determination to make this happen ☀️

[Jon (🌄,🌅) @jhruth]

Grateful for time spent with friends exploring the future of decentralized energy.

[Jon (🌄,🌅) @jhruth]

Incredibly grateful to meet and hang out with the @whyNotSwitch team. Many teams blow smoke about real world use cases while this team builds and innovates solutions for the problems Nigerians and many across Africa face everyday. A strong team with a bright future.

[GDEE🤓 @GDEE__]

4 years building, learning and growing.
Happy Anniversary to us @whyNotSwitch

@jhruth from @Solar_FND met up with the team @whyNotSwitch

Over the Weekend, we discussed the impacts of Solar microgrids in Enugu and beyond.
It was amazing as we brainstormed on the go, visiting different sites and talking about the use cases of Blockchain in Solar tech.

[Switch Electric @whyNotSwitch]

What a weekend we just had!

We celebrated 4 years of our commitment to global energy access and had @jhruth from The Solar Foundation @Solar_FND come celebrate with us ✨

[Switch Electric @whyNotSwitch]

It's been a while coming but the new generation of our smart meters are finally here!

Meet Maxwell, the hardware catalyst for decentralised energy in the Global South 🌎

Getting coupled 🔧

[Switch Electric @whyNotSwitch]

How do we get to full autonomy?

Unlike newly formed Web3 ecosystems, the energy sector has and is still at the mercy of government regulations that may limit growth, especially in Africa.

[Switch Electric @whyNotSwitch]

DePIN is for Africa. Why?

Really don't see how access to basic infrastructure in Africa will rise in the next few years without the use of blockchain tech. The economics agree!

Surely there's an exciting future behind these walls of regulation

[Switch Electric @whyNotSwitch]

We're not lost wondering how to generate $100 billion yearly to reach Africa's renewable energy goals.

We're building a new version of our smart meter to work with large scale energy projects such as solar farms.

Build and Scale 🚀

Exciting new report by @carboncopy_refi Introducing the concept of Impact DePINs for the first time and presents case studies from @shambanetwork, @M3tering and @arkreen_network.

Very valuable info & potential alpha about the players in this nascent space of Impact DePINs 😀
