Jonas Birgersson made it into the history books as Sweden's foremost champion of the internet revolution. Now, he's using everything he learned then to do it again. This time it's an energy revolution.
The concept of local electricity production, storage, and sharing of energy will be offered to Sweden's public housing companies. Project Energy Society, which includes the Warp Institute, aims to create an abundance of cheap and clean energy at a low fixed price
Sweden's innovation agency, Vinnova, has awarded $100,000 to Lund for the CoAction project, in which Project Energy Society is included. The goal is to create a new electricity grid with energy sharing, enabling a low fixed price for electricity.
In Lund, in the south of Sweden, the first prototype for the Energy Society will be built and is expected to be operational next year.
A short circuit in a switchgear knocked out two nuclear power reactors, the subway, traffic lights and disrupted radio transmissions. A savior in times of need was a few hundred household batteries.
The internet runs on the world's largest standard, the Internet Protocol. Now a group is creating an open standard for energy sharing, the Energy Protocol, EP.
At this time in history, an abundance of clean energy for a low fixed cost is possible.
π‘ With storage and the ability to share energy you can get all the electricity you need for a low flat fee, creating a new society.
The goal is to be able to offer all the electricity you need at a low fixed price. Anyone who thinks that would be important for society and wants to contribute to that, is welcome to join and help.
