Case Study
Peer-to-Peer Energy Sharing for Residential Community
Project Description:
Ohmesh piloted a peer-to-peer energy sharing network in a residential strata, enabling households with rooftop solar to directly trade excess power with neighbours. The project showcased how communities can unlock new value streams while accelerating renewable adoption.
Scope of Works Delivered:
- Blockchain-backed peer-to-peer energy trading platform
- Smart contracts for real-time settlement of energy trades
- Integration of rooftop solar generation data
- Tenant engagement and training workshops
Project Outcomes:
- 18% reduction in overall community energy costs
- Increased adoption of rooftop solar by residents
- First-of-its-kind community energy trading pilot in the region
- Strengthened community engagement around sustainability
Risks:
- Variability in rooftop solar output affecting trading balances.
Challenges:
- Engaging residents to adopt new trading platform and energy-sharing concept.
Issues:
- Early pilot required iterative adjustments to smart contract parameters.
