Ecosystem Sessions with RedGrid #2
https://holochain.org/
Welcome to Holochain Ecosystem Sessions! David Atkinson interviewed Principal Architect Mike Gamble & CEO Adam Bumpus, Alex Evans CMO from RedGrid.
Our Fave Moments in Time Stamps:
1:45 - 2:50 RedGrid update: had a strong December, focusing on project management, onboarding new developers, business model testing, MVP, grants, etc
4:10 - 5:35 Tackling the distributed energy problem from two angles: you have to win the hearts and minds of the individuals and also the accounting layer of infrastructure and coordination of the grid--both are necessary.
6:45 - 7:20 With COVID there is a real building sense of community and real break into a movement of mini and micro grids, especially rural and peripheral areas of the main grid. People are interested in taking control of their own power.
7:35 Thinking about how real decentralization can help old systems be done better.
8:30 Having something where you can start to engage with someone and what value that brings to your life, beyond just energy.
9:20 -10:25 What does a community built around energy consumption, low carbon, really look like and it doesn’t look like a closed system, reciprocal altruism comes into play and that’s why we’re using Holochain.
10:50 Building our first MVP and people are about to get their hands on the first tech.
11:50 A first look at Solar Booster: making people’s energy use and homes intelligence. Gentle adaptation of the tech that we’ve been building so far, and we’ve been sending out some product testing.
12:40 - 13:52 A real world application of this intelligence agent centric tech within the home. Get an extra $150/year with just a couple smart plugs and an app. Resonating with both biz-to-biz and end users as well.
13:40 !RedGrid Bonus! for an early look at Solar Booster!
14:25 Showing how to minimize energy at the plug level--a nuanced understanding at your house
15:30 Making an impact at the plug level and the meter level is both real and actionable.
16:15 How the plug level affecting the larger grid can be visualized.
17:39 Massive opportunities for efficiencies
18:15 What is the challenge moving from the plug, outward?
20:10 RedGrid difference from the traditional grids
20:30 What is really cool about what we’re doing is it can go from both directions, both from the plug to the microgrid or from the microgrid to the plug
22:00 People can literally buy a plug and switch it on now to improve electricity consumption.
22:50 Describing the value proposition from the house to the grid. It grows in strength as the network grows.
24:00 - 25:30 The plugs talk to each other!
25:30 - 27:25 The value proposition is fractal. And individuals can get compensated as there is need by the grid.
𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗱:
RedGrid is one of Australia’s leading energy software companies, that is blazing the path towards decentralisation. Using design based on the principles of biomimicry, RedGrid has looked to inspiration from honeybees to find the answers to how we can build an energy grid and technology stack that is truly decentralised and distributed. In 2020, RedGrid rolled out their technology with leading organisations including the UN award-winning minigrid at Monash University, and in residential developments with the Australian property developer Mirvac.
RedGrid is now preparing to release its customer-facing offerings in 2021. If you would like to get early-access to this intelligent clean energy technology, register your interest at the form on https://redgrid.io/early-access.

A more human internet
Each of us wants to have control over how and with whom we interact. In order to evolve and thrive, our communities must support everyone's uniqueness. Yet today, our online relationships are dominated by centralized corporate web sites.
Holochain enables a distributed web with user autonomy built directly into its architecture and protocols. Data is about remembering our lived and shared experiences. Distributing the storage and processing of that data can change how we coordinate and interact. With digital integration under user control, Holochain liberates our online lives from corporate control over our choices and information.
