How the Brooklyn Microgrid and TransActive Grid are paving
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.
Community Powered Energy
Brooklyn Microgrid (BMG) is an energy marketplace for locally-generated, solar energy.. The BMG marketplace allows prosumers (i.e. residential and commercial solar panel owners) to sell the excess solar energy they generate to NYC residents
The Brooklyn microgrid
Brooklyn microgrid is actually 50% owned by the local community and 50% owned by LO3 Energy. It is both a virtual microgrid and a physical microgrid, which means that part of the project, it allows, it covers a ten-block radius in Brooklyn that would be able to island, which means disconnect from the greater grid in a time of either extreme
Brooklyn Microgrid | Community Powered Energy
Why Brooklyn Microgrid now? To seriously address our climate challenges, we must take action on all fronts. To fast track solutions, Brooklyn Microgrid is pushing for a local renewable energy marketplace driven by the very community it will one day service. Energy production and use is the largest source of global greenhouse-gas.
Community Powered Energy
The Science behind Brooklyn Microgrid. Through blockchain technology and our own innovative solutions, we''ve developed Exergy, a permissioned data platform that creates localized energy marketplaces for transacting energy across existing grid infrastructure.

MICROGRIDS IN THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO:
Kivu Green Energy serves 260 commercial and residential electric customers in Beni, a city in the North Kivu region of Democratic Republic of the Congo via two distribution networks. The utility is in the process of transitioning its primary resource from diesel generation assets to solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity production paired with battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Designing microgrid energy markets: A case study: The Brooklyn
Subsequent to a comprehensive literature review of microgrid energy markets, blockchain technology, and their combination (i.e. blockchain-based microgrid energy markets) in Section 2, we propose a framework for designing microgrid energy markets in terms of the required components for the successful market operation in Section 3.Then, in Section 4 we
Brooklyn Microgrid | Community Powered Energy
The Brooklyn Microgrid reimagines the traditional energy grid model, with the concept of a communal energy network. While the utility provider still maintains the electrical grid that delivers power, the actual energy is generated, stored, and traded locally by members of the community, for a more resilient and sustainable clean energy model.
New York neighbours power up blockchain-based Brooklyn Microgrid
Collaboration with Brooklyn Microgrid is bringing benefits to the Siemens Energy Management Division because the TransActive Grid platform is based on a decentralised, web-based bookkeeping
FAQs
By participating in Brooklyn Microgrid, you are participating in a revolutionary network that will result in economic and environmental benefits for Brooklyn. Brooklyn Microgrid will demonstrate how local solar energy resources can be brought together within one community to create a sustainable, localized energy network.
BMG 101
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.
