The Brooklyn Microgrid developed by LO3 Energy marks the first P2P electricity trading project in the world. Since the launch of Brooklyn Microgrid, the company has expanded its business in the Americas, Europe, Australia, and other developed regions, operating a number of pilot projects.

Japanese conglomerate Sumitomo has entered the US microgrid market with an investment in New York-based blockchain innovator LO3 Energy, a company perhaps best known for the Brooklyn Microgrid, a peer-to-peer energy trading experiment that has captured worldwide attention.. Sumitomo was one of two major investors to give new backing to LO3 this week.
The microgrid planned for Brooklyn, which started as a pilot project of LO3 Energy, is now being further developed with the aid of Siemens Digital Grid in the US. For the first time, a microgrid control solution from Siemens is being combined with the peer-to-peer trading platform from LO3 Energy known as TransActive Grid.

Utility regulations in New York have proved to be an impediment for LO3 in its efforts to scale up the Brooklyn Microgrid project and to make wider use of blockchain technology for renewable energy sales. Only utilities and retail service providers are allowed to buy and sell energy under New York State''s regulatory regime.
The Brooklyn Microgrid is a small-scale energy system whereby households can trade their excess renewable energy capacity with their neighbours using a secure blockchain platform. The Brooklyn Microgrid is a prototype for peer-to-peer energy exchange systems, launched by LO3, Consensys, and Siemens in 2016. Energy is generated from individually
LO3 Energy has already built a pilot blockchain-enabled microgrid in Brooklyn. Orsini said the microgrid is quietly operating now and will officially be live in the second quarter of next year.
Cross-pollination of LO3''s blockchain ledger and Siemens'' microgrid management system, as part of LO3''s flagship Brooklyn Microgrid pilot project, figured prominently in the partnership. Transactive grid blockchains Siemens and LO3 began working on the project in late 2015. The Brooklyn Microgrid connects rooftop solar energy prosumers
Brooklyn, New York''s LO3 Energy is at the leading edge of a fundamental restructuring and retooling of energy production and distribution. A partnership with Siemens should give the startup a big ¨leg up¨ as it seeks to expand use of its Ethereum Blockchain-based, P2P microgrid distributed energy trading software.
The BMG project, run by LO3 Energy, 3 consists of a microgrid energy market in Brooklyn, New York. Currently, participants in the BMG are [80]. The Brooklyn MicroGrid project aims to serve as a testbed for exploring novel business models that promote consumer engagement in community projects. Show abstract.
With our microgrid solution in Brooklyn, we''ll demonstrate just the beginning of what blockchain can do in the transactive energy world," said Lawrence Orsini, who founded LO3 Energy in 2012. LO3 has been developing a blockchain microgrid in Brooklyn to allow local energy trading in Brooklyn''s Boerum Hill, Park Slope, and Gowanus
Siemens and the New York startup LO3 Energy are collaborating in the field of innovative microgrids. The goal of the collaboration is to jointly-develop microgrids that enable local energy trading based on
Brooklyn Microgrid is structured as a benefit corporation, which is defined as a for-profit corporate entity that aims to positively impact society, workers, the community and the environment. Revenue for the benefit corporation will be generated through a service fee which will be charged when the live marketplace is launched.
Quoi qu''il en soit, la Micro Grid de Brooklyn préfigure sans doute les systèmes énergétiques de demain. Les citoyens consommeront une énergie de source renouvelable, et produite
The BMG project, run by LO3 Energy, 3 consists of a microgrid energy market in Brooklyn, New York. Currently, participants in the BMG are located across three distribution grid networks in the BMG''s region as shown in Fig. 4 (a). Severe weather events (e.g. hurricanes, heat waves, etc.) increase, which raises operation issues of the (already
Brooklyn Microgrid is in the process of receiving its full approval for the transaction of energy across public utility wires. Over 50 residential and commercial building owners have installed LO3 Energy's Exergy on their sites, and there is a waiting list of over 300 users interested in participating.
LO3 Energy, a young New York company, is working with Siemens Digital Grid and Siemens’ startup financier next47, called the Brooklyn Microgrid project. There, neighbors are empowered to produce, consumer and purchase power within their community with a blockchain enabled transactive energy platform.
By 2018, the LO3 Energy team plans to expand the Brooklyn Microgrid to 1000 participants, including nearby homes and apartment buildings, a gas station and fire station, schools and factories.
Blockchain makes the Brooklyn Microgrid possible, Orsini said. Participants install smart meters equipped with the technology, which track the energy they generate and consume. Records of the automatic “smart contracts” that enable neighbor-to-neighbor transactions are also tracked using blockchain.
