Furthermore, there was concern that they could be left waiting years for the \u201cappropriate core technology\u201d to roll along. Even in 2018, Trbovich maintains the bulk of blockchain projects remain stuck in the proof-of-concept stage as a result.<\/p>\n<p>Yet it was this technological gridlock, she explained, that gave rise to Grid Singularity\u2019s existential mission: to build the very technology it believed companies would need to \u201ccome to commercialization sooner\u201d and use blockchain to revolutionize the energy sector.<\/p>\n<p>Partnering with Rocky Mountain Institute in 2016, a US nonprofit promoting renewable energy and sustainability, Grid Singularity co-founded the Energy Web Foundation (EWF) in Switzerland in January 2017 and started work on the <a href=\"https:\/\/energyweb.org\/blockchain\">Energy Web Chain<\/a>\u2014an open-source blockchain \u201cspecifically designed for the energy sector\u2019s regulatory, operational, and market needs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And with core Grid Singularity founders consisting of Ethereum co-founders <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/gavin-wood\/\">Gavin Wood<\/a>, Jutta Steiner, Aeron Buchanan, and a team of other talented blockchain developers and energy engineers, Grid Singularity appears to have hit the ground running in its mission to build \u201cthe one\u201d dApp platform for energy.<\/p>\n<h2>Europe: The World\u2019s New Silicon Valley?<\/h2>\n<p>Two years on, the Energy Web Foundation would seem decidedly close to entering the market.<\/p>\n<p>With a live Proof-of-Authority, Parity Client-based test blockchain network, Trbovich maintains that the project\u2019s mainnet \u201copen, decentralized energy data exchange platform\u201d will benefit the market with a number of commercial applications when it launches in mid-2019.<\/p>\n<p>Both startups and \u201cinnovative incumbent corporates\u201d, like Singapore Power, are using the Energy Web Chain, with a number of other startups and utilities, mostly clustered in Europe, building a diverse range of dApps including renewable energies certification and trading, shared charging for electric vehicles, demand flexibility, home-management applications, and billing,\u201d Trbovich said.<\/p>\n<p>But whatever impact Trbovich (also a board member at a leading EU institution for fostering technological innovation, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology) believes the project will have on the market, she seems to think it will be some time before regulators give approval to the project\u2019s \u201cmost exciting\u201d use case, peer-to-peer energy trading. As stated during the interview:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It\u2019s understandable that the regulators want to make sure that energy is provided and traded safely. It will take a while some time to put the legal and the technical ingredients together for the most creative disruption of blockchain.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43357\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43357\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-43357 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/chile-energy-social-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/chile-energy-social-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/chile-energy-social-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/chile-energy-social-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/chile-energy-social.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43357\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Related Story:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/chile-energy-ethereum\/\">Chile is Putting its Energy Data on Ethereum\u2019s Blockchain<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cA number of governments are using regulatory sandboxes to test what appears to be a radical shift to peer-to-peer energy markets,\u201d Trbovich said.
