DECENTRALIZED ENERGY

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Virtual Power Plants (VPPs), which aggregate and coordinate small-scale energy resources across homes and businesses, are emerging as a potential solution to bridge the growing energy supply-demand gap in the US and China. Though they have enormous potential and government support, the market remains nascent, with current projects connecting less than 0.25% of US households. Crypto-enabled DePIN solutions could accelerate adoption with network effects and incentivize participation.
