A solar burst of economy

The Renewable Energy Generation?

The world is talking differently about renewable energy and clean energy infrastructure. The US has suspended import duties on solar panels from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam for two years to ensure that the US can meet its ‘energy generation needs’. US President Joe Biden recently invoked the ‘Defense Production Act’. This effectively gives the President’s Administration the authority to explicitly direct companies in the USA to manufacture renewable energy technologies. They’re going in big.

Define a Clean Energy Arsenal

This Administration aims to switch 33 million homes to clean solar energy each year. In this case, as a matter of national security. That’s the difference in invoking the Act this time around. Incredibly, clean energy technology was described in the accompanying White House brief as a ‘clean energy arsenal’. Complex geopolitics surrounding this tectonic shift in direction. But the difference in discourse matters. The USA is still the global superpower. It’s not only about war and weapons, it’s about the cost of living. What words the USA chooses always define the times.

Play the Energy Advantage

For the energy landscape, change is happening everywhere. One Australian state, the Australian Capital Territory, is the only state in the country to reduce tariffs for the coming year on electricity during a global energy crisis. It’s 100% renewable energy delivering meaningful environmental and financial progress for many people. Other places, such as the UK, have pushed to leverage their offshore wind advantage even more. European states have begun to organise around a proposal to double their solar energy capacity by 2030. Prioritising renewable energy generation and storage to ensure demand is always met is positive change.

Engineering Cooperation

The equitable way to bring the cost of energy down for the parts of the world that have had to increase coal-power capacity is to decentralise clean energy tech. As the language of clean energy becomes more common, words such as ‘Off-grid’ and ‘Microgrid’ are now used in national strategies for energy resilience worldwide. Developing clean energy solutions for resilient grids is on the agenda everywhere. Significant attention is focused on accelerating what needs to be a rapid clean energy transformation for global energy infrastructure. Solar energy technology is leading countries and communities to unlock their energy independence. However, to make autonomy work, you need to engineer cooperation into the system’s DNA. In doing that, you can solve the fragility problem of existing energy grid systems.

A Solar Superpower

Devices like chargers, solar panels and battery banks using IOENs open-source protocol give any energy network the ability to function as its own energy economy. A virtual energy microgrid. IOEN is an intelligent, cooperative and scalable system built with Holochain that doesn’t go through an expensive governance crisis as the network gets bigger like blockchain. Resilient energy grids require technologies that can balance their surplus energy in real-time. Everything connected to the Virtual Energy Microgrid is identifiable. The more devices using IOEN’s protocol, the more secure it gets. IOEN’s solution for a future with solar language is open-source to the global community. As superpowers mandate a solar transition, you can join the support of the IOEN community to unlock your potential in the clean energy economy.

About IOEN

IOEN is the next generation of digital energy management and optimization. IOEN tech enables an interconnected virtual microgrids system that facilitates transactions within and between local energy ecosystems: from the appliance level to energy generation, storage, and consumption.

We are the backbone of the new tokenized energy ecosystem, building out the global clean energy ecosystem wherever you are, device by device.
