Klenergy and Pylon Network
Among the selected startups is Klenergy, which works on The Pylon Network. Its CEO and founder, Gerard Bel, explains: "Pylon Network is a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy exchange platform based on blockchain technology. All transactions occur without intermediaries and with the use of Pylon-Coin, which is used to pay for the energy exchanged through Pylon Network. It was designed specifically, to reward the production of Renewable Energy (RE) in order to accelerate their implementation in a de-centralised framework by making RE investments more attractive. Pylon Network is an ambitious, yet feasible project, which we are here to demonstrate the value creation from decentralization of energy generation, within the Spanish energy market. This will be the first implementation of blockchain technology in the energy sector, at such a large scale – 800 people are going to participate in the pilot demonstration stage. It is definitely the most innovative and large-scale project for Europe and maybe, even globally".
