Tokenizing Renewable Energy for a More Accessible Green Future | Insights – Reshape Digital
May 27, 2025 by Filip Gagiu
At the Cleantech Hackathon during Energy Expo Bucharest, organized by Techcelerator.co, our team introduced GreenVestX, a platform designed to make renewable energy investment more accessible and impactful for everyday users. The hackathon challenged participants to address real-world problems proposed by key players in the energy space, including PPC Romania, Delgaz Grid, Romgaz, and Nuclearelectrica. In response, we created a blockchain-based concept for tokenizing green energy ownership. The project earned a Special Mention for Innovation and High Potential in Energy and Sustainability, recognizing its unique approach to bridging clean energy and individual climate action.
The Challenge: Bridging Climate Action and Energy Ownership
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving energy independence requires massive public participation, not just from governments and corporations, but also from individuals. However, investing in renewable energy infrastructure remains out of reach for most people. There's no easy way for everyday citizens to co-own, trade, or use the green energy they support.
Our Solution: GreenVestX, Tokenized Access to Renewable Energy
GreenVestX is a fractional investment platform that allows individuals to co-invest, virtually own, and benefit from renewable energy production. It’s not just a financial tool, it’s a sustainability ecosystem built around transparency, traceability, and personal impact.
How It Works
- For every 1 MWh of energy generated by a renewable source, the system mints 1,000 xWatt tokens.
- Individuals can buy or earn xWatt tokens through investments, usage, or loyalty programs.
- Tokens are tied to the real-time SPOT price of energy and backed by measurable CO₂ reductions at the moment of generation.
Blockchain-Backed Transparency
GreenVestX runs on MultiversX, Europe’s first carbon-neutral blockchain, ensuring:
- Secure, traceable transactions
- Transparent royalty payouts to producers
- Automated fees and contract logic (1% platform fee per transaction)
- A sustainable infrastructure aligned with the platform’s climate goals
The Ecosystem: More Than Investment
GreenVestX doesn’t stop at co-ownership; it creates a full circular energy economy. Participants can:
- Deduct energy bills with xWatt tokens
- Trade tokens on a secondary market
- Earn rewards via loyalty programs
- Track personal carbon offset impact in real time
All of this happens through smart contracts, giving users not only a financial stake but also a visible contribution to environmental sustainability.
Why It Matters
This model introduces a radically accessible approach to clean energy participation:
- Energy democratization: anyone can co-invest and benefit
- Carbon transparency: emissions saved are measured in real-time
- Financial incentives: energy becomes an asset, not just a cost
It represents a step toward individual energy sovereignty, unlocking impact and value for people who want to be part of the climate solution.
Recognition for Innovation
GreenVestX received a Special Mention for Innovation and High Potential in Energy and Sustainability at the Energy Expo Cleantech Hackathon in Bucharest, validating its role as a forward-thinking tool for citizen-driven environmental impact.
We’re grateful to Techcelerator.co for hosting this event and creating a space for real-world innovation in clean energy. Our sincere thanks go to all the organizers, mentors, jury members, and sponsors who contributed to the hackathon’s success, and to the energy companies who brought forward real challenges with real impact.
