Dear community,
Our team is proud to announce that an updated resource designed to introduce WePower is now available to everyone. Compared to the original version of the Whitepaper, where we looked very far into the future, we now focused on the most immediate developments — the company’s progress in its first year and our plans moving forward.
WePower is helping to solve climate change, one of the most pressing issues in the world today. Our mission is to enable everyone to make a change towards a sustainable energy future through their energy purchasing decisions. …
We’re delighted to share that The Economist just published a very positive feature story on how the Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT), blockchain in particular, have the potential to foster transition into renewables.
Up until now, the energy industry has remained rather untouched by the digital disruption that has transformed many other industries. From finance and manufacturing to medicine and education.
WePower aims to change the way renewable-electricity projects are paid for. The government-guaranteed prices that have propelled growth in wind and solar energy around the world are being cut back, says Nick Martyniuk, WePower’s founder. So his firm wants to help developers of renewables raise money by selling the rights to the electricity their plants will produce once built. Customers will buy a smart contract now, running on Ethereum’s blockchain, that will provide them with power later.

Thanks for following our journey!
Stay tuned,
Annika
As we step into the new year, I would like to take a moment and look back at 2017. It was in many ways a significant year for our team. We continued working on our mission and made dozens of high-quality weather and climate datasets easy to access and work with. Below you will find links to all the new datasets added to the Planet OS Datahub as well as several cool developer tools showcasing what you can do with our API.
It was a prosperous year for our customers, especially the Australian AgTech company The Yield who helps growers make better on-farm decisions. You will find their story below. We also kept a close eye on the market and shared with you some of the most intriguing updates and exclusive interviews from the Renewable Energy as well as the weather data industry. …
