SWAZM has joined forces with Restart Energy to create the RED Platform — a peer-to-peer system which utilizes cutting-edge blockchain and IoT technology in order to empower consumers to acquire and trade renewable energy cheaper, directly from producers.

Restart Energy is moving towards democratising the global energy market with the RED Platform, the world’s first decentralized peer-to-peer energy marketplace. The application will enable consumers to become prosumers powered by solar energy, both increasing energy independence and helping decrease their carbon footprint.

“By using our technology, RED has decentralized the data layer of energy transactions, deploying the KWT on SWAZM. By using SWAZM’s unparalleled scalability, RED is deploying a network of IoT devices communicating live with our blockchain, sending real-time energy data from and to the users,” explained Vali Malinoiu, SWAZM’s CEO.

Due to market regulation, competition in the energy sector has proved to be challenging. Monopolies make it difficult to compete in terms of costs and investments. RED aims to overcome all of these bottlenecks. The RED Platform has both agility and cost-efficiency, and can measure-up more established players of worldwide markets.
