A partnership between Australian energy start-up Chubu and Japanese solar firm Sharing Energy will see 100 homes take part in energy trading using a blockchain-enabled peer-to-peer marketplace. Chubu's platform will be used to measure the real-time consumption of renewable energy from customers across Power Ledger, Kansai and Kyushu, before facilitating trading from November. The project is expected to grow to 55,000 rooftops by the end of 2020.
