ICO Details
WePower is a blockchain-based green energy trading network that solves the current problems of global access to capital for renewable energy developers. By using smart contracts, it enables its participants to invest and finance green energy projects as well as acquire green energy in an efficient, secure and transparent way.
Legally it acts as an IES (independent energy supplier): WePower receives data about the produced and consumed energy from an energy grid and energy exchange markets. When a producer of renewable energy is looking for set-up costs for a new project, he can sell part of the energy that will be produced in the future in the form of tokens on the WePower platform. The tokenization is based on kWh unit: one internal energy token represents 1 kWh to be produced at a certain time in the future. The buyer/investor receives this green energy in a form of internal energy tokens using WePower smart contract, which represents a standard power purchase agreement.
Within 9 months after the ICO, WePower will already be operational and start its activities in Spain. The launch will be there because WePower’s first client is currently building 1000 MW solar energy capacity plants in Spain, which means that WePower has a pipeline of energy projects for at least the first two years.
