Today we'll review the WePower ICO. It's a renewable energy project offering a blockchain based green energy trading platform.

WePower is a green energy trading platform operating on blockchain technology. Through WePower, renewable energy producers can raise capital through the issuance of their own energy tokens. These tokens are basically a representation of the energy they commit to produce and deliver. It’s no secret that the current energy investment ecosystem can be standardized, simplified, and extended globally through energy tokenization. The peer-to-peer WePower platform enables energy producers to trade directly with parties interested in buying green energy, such as investors and consumers; and also raise capital by selling energy upfront at rates that are below current market price. WePower is built on the Ethereum Network. WePower basically cuts out all the middlemen and directly connects green energy buyers and producers, and offers the opportunity to purchase energy upfront at advantageous rates. Liquidity is ensured and access to capital is extended through energy tokenization. Moreover, it will enable everyone to trade in renewable energy on a global level. From a legal standpoint, WePower acts as an independent energy supplier, allowing its platform to be connected to the energy grid, the local energy market, and end users. It receives information regarding the produced and consumed energy, as well as about the price of said energy. Once a producer connects to WePower, his future energy production is tokenized. The process is based on the kilowatt-hour unit, and one internal energy token represents one kWh that will be produced at a certain time in the future. When the producer needs initial capital to put into a new renewable energy project, they can choose to sell a portion of the energy they plan on producing in the future on the WePower platform. This energy is acquired by the buyer in the form of internal energy tokens. Each of these tokens operates as a smart contract indicating the type of energy, the time stamp when the energy will be produced and delivered, as well as its price tag. An operational demo of the WePower platform has been made available and features an easy implementation of its protocol for both consumers and producers. A dual token system lies at the heart of WePower. WePower (or WPR tokens) facilitate platform trading, while the energy tokens provide smart contracts secured on the blockchain. Each renewable energy plant connected to WePower will be able to auction its tokenized energy. WPR token holders will have priority access to the energy auction during the first 48 hours. They’ll be able to buy the renewable energy at the best initial price set by the auctioneer in proportion to the amount of WPR tokens held at that time. This model is vital towards attracting traders and speculators as it may provide them with great opportunities. After the 48 hours are up, anyone can take part in the auction. WPR holders will also be granted access to the green energy donation pool. Producers on the WePower platform will have to donate 0.9% of their energy tokens to WPR token holders. This means that holders will continue to acquire value in the form of access to real energy credits. Owners of energy tokens will have the option of using the energy when it is produced (if they live in an area where WePower operates), of selling it on the WePower Platform before it's produced, or of selling the energy to a wholesale market when it's produced and receiving the equivalent price in crypto currency or fiat. WePower describes its WPR as the “next generation token” and the next stage in token economy evolution. According to their roadmap—which is extensively covered in the project’s whitepaper—WePower has three development stages planned. These are: WePower Breeze, WePower Storm and WePower Hurricane. The Breeze engineering phase is to integrate the WPR token and the Energy token to regional wholesale and local energy retail markets that can function with renewable energy plants. As more consumers and plants connect to the platform, WePower will enter its Storm phase; offering additional optimization features for users and local power grids to incorporate more renewable energy into the grid and onto the platform. The Hurricane stage will improve the platform's scalability by lowering transaction costs, automating and simplifying the user interface, and by introducing “AI powered system-wide optimization.”
