In the context of the current systemic crisis and the accompanying transformational shifts in economic, financial, technological and ecological systems, the state, business and people around the world must begin to coordinate their efforts against the unprecedented challenges that have arisen. In this process, business has traditionally been assigned the role of a driver and catalyst for necessary changes. To a large extent, the speed and cost of getting out of the current crisis, both of the business itself and of society as a whole, depends on the coordination of companies' actions. In turn, this stimulates companies to move from models of competition to models of consortia and partnerships, in which a synergistic effect is possible.
The energy sector as a life support infrastructure for all sectors of the economy and value chains is subject to transformation like no other. This is reflected in the emergence of fundamentally new topologies of energy systems, roles, energy assets and energy market segments that require innovative technologies, including digital ones.
These principles served as the basis for the cooperation between 482.solutions and DTEK. According to the memorandum of cooperation, 482.solutions is a strategic partner of DTEK in the field of blockchain technologies and will continue to work on the implementation of joint projects and digital solutions for energy transition and sustainable development. The corresponding document was signed by DTEK Chief Innovation Officer Emanuele Volpe and 482.solutions CFO Ivan Balashov.
“We started working on a joint pilot project together with 482.solutions. We are going to create a platform for managing the guarantees of origin of renewable electricity based on blockchain technology. With the help of this technology, users of the power system will be able to verify the origin of electricity and be sure that this data cannot be falsified. Due to the fact that the system is decentralized, its participants (consumers, producers of raw materials and products, traders and others) act on equal and transparent terms" Emanuele Volpe, CIO at DTEK
