Getting the world’s industries to switch to renewable power is immensely important for our planet’s future, but renewable power purchasing agreements turn out to be complicated to manage and administer. Buyers and sellers must interact indirectly through the electricity market and agreements contain complex rules. Keeping track of these is complicated and expensive - UNLESS you have a blockchain-based smart contract. This is how we did it, using ZK for privacy, on chain!
